I am wanting to know if I can bathe Tank and what to use. I soak the lil one 3x a day in warm water but was wondering if I needed to do more. We are enjoying this lil guy so much. I wanna give Tank every advantage possible even on looks.
??? On bathing our lil one

Nothing more than a soak in warm water is required. If you think the turtle is dirty, you can always scrub gently with a soft-bristle brush.

Ok thanks for the info much appreciated!
I don't know if this is a good idea or not, but, about once a week or 2, I will wash Cooper with just a couple drop's of baby shampoo, mainly just on his shell and front legs. He don't seem to mind it at all. Plus he smells better afterwards! I haven't read anywhere that it is harmfull to them. Plus if its ok for a baby I wouldn't think it wouldnt hurt him once a week or so. If anyone knows of a reason I shouldn't do this please speak up! I will say that I don't let it get in his face nor do I let him sit in the water with it and give him a chance to drink it. As soon as I wash and rinse him off I drain the water and rinse him again with clean water.
I do not believe this is a good idea. I don't know what the chemicals in the shampoo would do to the shell. I'm sure it will dry it out. Let me know how that works out for you.cemmons12 said:
