As the subject asks, can you soak a hatchling to much? Right now I'm doing it every morning. I water the substrate and spray twice a day also. I am just having issues keeping the humidity up his enclosure. I don't want him to get dehydrated since he is so little. Could I soak him twice a day some days?

I don't see what it would hurt :) I soak Kiwi twice a day too. After both soaks hes ready to eat and explore until hes pooped and goes to bed lol

I don't think twice a day or maybe every other day two times is too much. I DO however think you can soak them too much. Almost everytime I soak Tank, he poops. If I soak him four times, he will poop four times. He struggles so hard to get out if the water.

Sometimes, he's already gone in his enclosure. When he poops during the soaks on those days, there are some undigested leaves in his feces.

I would almost think it would be similar to human diarrhea. If the soak is working as a laxative, doing it too much would in turn dehydrate him.
