When you take your beardie out place him in a bath of luke warm water up to his armpits. This will stimulate him to go and then you won't have to worry about him pooping on you. If he isn't going in the tub then rub in circular motion the right side of his belly from top to bottom. This is what I do before taking any beardies for a ride so they don't poop in my car. As a matter of fact that is where most of my beardies go poop because they don't go in their viv's either.

:laughing6: You'd been beardie christened!

What you can also try is to put Tiny into shallow warm water immediately after pooping on you. This will condition him to associate warm water (bath) with pooping, and eventually will/should only poop in the bath.

Good luck!

My daughter's does the same thing. She has hers in her classroom during the week. The kids get a kick out of it, like a lotto for who gets pooped on. Almost like he does it for their reaction because he doesn't do it on weekends when she brings it home.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
