How long is too long for a bath?

Luna has been in her bath for about 45 minutes. She generally let's me know when she wants out but she is just hanging out today. Is there any harm in a really long bath? Thanks!

Hi there.....10-15 minutes is more than enough for a drink + to splash around. Sometimes if they have poo caked on themselves it's good to soak that long, then it's easy to clean off with a toothbrush. It seems that some beardies enjoy their bath, others tolerate it and yet others hate it. The things to be careful of with a very long soak is that they don't aspirate water [ especially babies ] or that the water doesn't cool off . Being cold blooded it would really chill them and be pretty unpleasant,so for a soak that's longer than 10 minutes it would be good to add extra warm water .

If she is enjoying the soaking, that is fine as long as warm water is added as needed like AHBD mentioned. Be sure to dry her off well when finished & to put her in to warm up.
