I understand how to do a bath as far as temperature, water depth, tub placement, etc. I just don't get how people are doing this while their baby is still so jumpy. I have seen many people ask for help on taming their beardie but in the same post talk about giving them baths. Seems like it'd just be a traumatic experience all around. But it's good to know she's not missing out on anything right now, I just wanted to make sure I wasn't NOT doing something I should be.

She calmed down a bit by dinner, but would still flinch if my hand got too close. Will keep working on it, she'll get there. She seems to sleep fine, the room she's in is not noisy or bright. I don't think she's abnormally skittish, just a typical nervous baby. At least she's not missing anything important re: bath time. Which, to be honest, I wasn't really worried about as all that necessary but I just wanted to be sure. I get a little paranoid about the little things haha
Anyway, heres the kid. Excuse her shedding, she's usually a little more impressiveher names Tequila Sunrise
Love you menagerie! Your crested gecko is adorable and looks a lot like mine. We have a reptile problem at our house too. We currently have 2 leopard geckos, a crested, and a beardie. I want a snake, but hubby says that's where he draws the line. He can handle the bug colonies and lizards but snakes and their food, nope.
And just because, here's my boys, Lusus (don't judge it was 2011) and Pazuzu (excuse the mess he left on his dinner ledge)
I could add the ones I was responsible for at the nature center I worked at, or the reptile rescue I volunteered at, or the reptile ecology lab I work in...but this thread would get kinda longcan you tell I have a reptile (and amphibian and insect if you count my work kids) problem?
