QuestionI bath my 2 beardies once a week, but sometimes they smell really bad. My concern is if they feces on them is water enough to clean them?
Answer I use soft bristle toothbrushs as their scrub brush, one to each beardie. If they have dirtied themselves recently, the water should be enough. But if you have poop stains, I have used gentle dishwashing liquid like Palmolive (No Bleach) and scrubbed that on the stained areas. Then a rinse (All done away from the bath, under running tepid water. When using soap, after drying my nice clean lizard, I rubbed the hide with sweet almond oil, coconut oil, or olive oil because soap removes all natural oils and even a lizard hide has them, and needs replacement. This will keep the hide supple and the scales in good condition. Plus if you use coconut or almond oil, you got a kissing sweet dragon!
