Hey ya’ll. When is it okay to give our babies their first bath? They are 5-9 days old right now

I usually gave them all a bath by the second day. Hydration is one of the most important aspects to keeping your reptiles healthy. PE

Just a little tip that works great for me.I have never seen my dragon’s drink.That was until i put in a air line to make the water bubble a little bit.Im not sure if they have a problem seeing still water like camealeons(however you spell it )anyways.they drink and soak everyday.they look so happy and rub around while in there

I keep my babies in totally bare floor tubs and spray them 3 times a day. They drink it up off of the floor and walls so when I put them in water they know exactly how to drink.

So basically you just make your dragons a jacuzzi! Years ago I used to have a waterfall in one of my dragon cages. One of them would just lay across one of the ledges and let the water flow over him. Maybe moving water is more attractive to them. I will have to try that. Also keep an eye on the humidity. Thats a method we use with reptiles that need more humidity in the air. PE

lol It’s not deep! It just makes a couple of little puddles. It dries up within 15 minutes usually since they don’t have anything porous to hold any humidity in.

I spray them 3 times a day also, but gave them their first bath today. They slept right through it. It seems like all they do is sleep all day! I know they are babies and this is probably normal, but when I go to feed them- they will eat a few bites then close their eyes and fall asleep. In the bath, they tried to get out for like 4 seconds, then fell asleep.... lol
