I think my beardie only likes to poop in certain places and one of the places is my leg. It very annoying. She either poop's on my leg when I go to feed her or give her a bath, she'll poop in/on/near her water dish or in her container that I feed her in. Is there a way to make her stop pooping in/on those places?

You can train them but it's much tougher while she's so young. She may poop multiple times per day. As they get older they poop less frequently and it's easier to train them. You can try it now but may not have much success yet. If you take her out and give her a warm bath at around the same time every day she will start getting used to pooping in the bath. After a while of that you can take her out and put her in a space that's easy to clean like a linoleum floor. Keep her there (within reason) until she goes. Eventually she should learn that's the place to go and just do her thing. Having this happen at around the same time is more effective. They seem to respond to routine and they don't tend to like pooping in their enclosures. This worked with my guys but different people may have different results.

Thank you very much. She's fine with pooping in her enclosure but doesn't it both outside and inside.

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!
