Little Yoshi smells like his poo. It's not strong, but still rather unpleasant. It's hard to snuggle him. :( I've given him a bath, but it hasn't helped.
-He's on reptile carpet that is completely washed in the washing machine- no poo smell.
-I cleaned his tank (complete wash with bleach, baked all his furniture) about 2 weeks ago.
-He's had a bit of a smell ever since I got him about 6 months ago, but it's worse now.
-Also, he doesn't like baths, but will tolerate them. I don't bathe him often because he "hyperventilates" in the tub, rapidly puffing his beard.
*a note- I used soap exactly 2 times on him. I didn't know soap was bad for him. He didn't ingest an soap or soapy water. (Sorry little buddy!)

What can I do?

I can only share a story. I took in a rescue who was smelly, also. He had been on carpet that was changed out every time he pooped. I put him on newspaper right away. Daily baths, and in about 2 weeks, the smell was gone. Hope this helps.

Thanks! I will try that. A question- what did you put him on after the smell was gone, and how did you keep it off?

Okay, I'm gonna try that first, since $2.25 and a scrub bath is easier that newspaper for 2 weeks. Thanks to those who replied!!! :D

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. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
