[QUOTE="ChileanTaco, post: 2044988, member: 118921"] I know what is usually meant by "bathing" - still: It is not necessary. Bearded dragons cannot absorb water through their skin. The skin might look "nicer", but there is no water absorbed. Unless they drink - which can be easily done by dripping some water on their snout. Over all, if a bearded dragon is dehydrated, or has problems shedding, something is wrong and that needs to be fixed. At least I can say for sure: My bearded dragon won't get a bath. In case he might get dirty (never happened so far), I would clean the affected area. I love to offer my bearded dragon a lot of enrichment, and before reading more about it, I had also thought that giving them a bath is something worth to try once my dragon gets older. Luckily I have read about it and never gave him a bath, no soaking, no whatever it is called. There are many things that animals/pets enjoy but are in fact dangerous for them. Think about all the things a dog would love to eat. Some decades ago, I had cockatiels - smart and funny birds, and they were always up to try what people eat, being it a sip from a glass of wine, being it reaching into a bag of snacks, and yes, they enjoy it and yes, it looks cute; I had to take care this not happening. Even if it seems to be safe so far (pet is still alive and healthy and likes the activity) is not necessary in the long run. [/QUOTE]
