this is absolutely not true. I’m sure this is part of some more general claim about the topic at hand, but if you are going to make an argument based on physiology it behooves you to be more accurate.They have the exact same GI Tract set-up and Renal System set-up that we do.

Soaking reptiles often inspires them to drink, which I think is where this must’ve gotten started. A positive response to a bath can be from the warmth of it, or the novelty of it among other things.
If he doesn’t like soaking it might be hard to change his mind. I use a spray bottle and squeeze it gently so it’s sort of a trickle, and that works best for me. I’ve had luck using fruit or honey to slightly flavor the water to get my guy more interested in it, and then not needing it once he learned to recognize the sprayer.

EllenD":dmvyk55x said:Ha Ha, i just read your comment again, "It behooves you to be more accurate" since I'm making a claim based on physiology...Yeah, you're 100% correct, you'd certainly think so, wouldn't you? Not my experience at all...It's ironic, isn't it? I did exactly what you scolded me for about a year ago with the same topic and I got a warming for being "Too detailed and Scientific for the average members of this forum", and due to this I now make a generalized statement because I didn't want to be "Too detailed or Scientific" by giving the same detailed, physiological explanation, and I get called-out for not doing so...Can't win..
