Help - Lizard got paint on herself

[ercussio]

My friend and I were doing some painting with acrylic, and my bearded dragon walked around in it, and managed to get paint all over herself. Luckily it's non-toxic. I got like 90% out with bathing and rubbing, but it's just kinda stuck in all the cracks and crevices. She's very old, thirteen, so she sheds very infrequently, so I need to get this off of her now. Any suggestions? Safe solvents?

Oh, I should mention - she did not eat any. So it's just cosmetic damage.

haha silly dragon! I'd be very wary about using solvents. Maybe just let her sit in a warm bath for a while longer?

Very soft toothbrush, warm-ish bath, and scrub gently. I won't ask why you guys were painting near the dragon, i'm kinda unpleased, but hopefully it was an accident. Don't use any products.

Well I've been bathing and toothbrushing her, and it seems like the more time has passed the less of it I see on her. It may be flaking off naturally, but slowly. I'll just bath her every day for the next week. Should work.

Pepper has done that before, silly thing always runs through my palette whenever he gets near it - no idea why. Just make sure you get it off fairly quickly, otherwise it will stay there until next shed, pepper has some on him now but it doesn't bother him, I've never had any issues because acrylic paint is generally non-toxic although he's never been covered in it :shock:
