I have a almost two year old leopard. I soak every other day for 20 minutes. Tom, I believe soaks his more then once a week until they are about 8 inches. I would soak a little more often and for about 20-30 minutes. Maybe 3 times a week. If he's eight inches, then the once a week is probably fine. When mine gets that big, I will cut down to once or twice a week.

I say if you can and it likes it, why not.. My 7 year old Sully really does not like being lifted or soaked.

Depends in his size, like Barb said. I soak them daily until around 400 grams, then I cut them back gradually by skipping occasional days here and there. Once they hit 8-10" and I move them outside, how often I soak depends on the weather. Once a week in hot weather, less in cold weather when they aren't all that active.
