Hello everyone,
This may be waste of space on the forum but I got a real kick out of it and decided to share. I have a baby Sulcata that I bought about three months ago. I let him soak in the morning almost every day for about 10 or 15 minutes but he still seems to get dirty. So I decided to give him a bath in my bathroom sink. I got some nice warm water, no soap just water, and a soft face cloth and started gently scrubbing his shell and his belly. Sorry for not using the proper names but he is my buddy not a science project. Anyway, of course he pooped in the warm water like he always does so I let the nasty water out and started running some more warm water. I picked him up and ran the warm water on his backside to wash off the remaining poop. He loved it, I figured it might freak him out a bit but that was not the case. I put him down in the sink and he practically ran to get under the running water and stuck his head way out and really seemed to enjoy himself. I suppose I'll have to take him to the local Tortoise wash every week now. Just thought I would share this with you all, it made me smile.
