They don't get water in their ears when they're in their bath, they have something that keeps the water out. I have a beardie that loves to swim & he's got his head in the water all the time, he likes to swim like an alligator, yet it doesn't bother him & I don't have to put his head to the side to get water out. I'm not sure how they keep their ears waterproofed (so to speak :mrgreen: ) but it's nothing to worry about!
