So! I'm new to tortoise keeping and while I love this little guy/ gal, I've noticed she/ he is very dirty. I was wondering, when I had aquatic turtles we used to regularly "bathe" them. As in get a tooth brush and under running warm water we would softly scrub them. It helped with the hygiene and I hope reduced salmonella since they were constantly played with. I have a sulcata now and I know we're supposed to soak them as they are a desert species so that they drink but, can I actually bathe it. Like, scrub it clean so it doesn't have dirt on it?
