Potty training!

[OhNoChloroformx]

I set Bentley on on my bathroom counter top and begin to fill his large tupperware bath bin with warm water in the sink. He instantly knows the sound of the running water, and climbs down the edge of the sink and in to his bath! After some submerging and swimming around like a spiky Michael Phelps, he gets in to that 'comfortable' position (I'm sure you all know what this is!) and poops, which absolutely amazes my dad who's owned reptiles all of his life and has never potty-trained a single one. Once Bentley's done, he promptly hops up onto the counter top and on to his special green hand towel, which I use to dry him and make sure he's completely 'clean' down there before I let him up on my shoulder! :laughing6:

can you train embery? she's ALWAYS pooping on her basking spot, and it's got all these crevices in it.

If you know around the time that they poo give them a bath before then and they will poo in the bath. The every day do the same thing and then after a while they learn bath = poo time. This dosnt work on all beardies tho. I still cant get the old guy to do this.

His run in with Hookworms a couple months ago and the antibiotics our local herp vet gave for them really messed with his digestive system, I'm guessing, so that's why we developed this routine.


Or, maybe he just enjoys a daily soak courtesy of momma! :lol:

I had zaki on that routine pretty well. But then my boyfriend's work schedule got all mixed up and it threw her routine off. Now she rarely goes in the bath. I can never get the baby to poop in the bath though, which is a surprise because she can poop up to three or four times a day. She's an eating and pooping machine... going through her growth spurt.
