Best Time for Baths

[Dexter_Dragon]

Is there a best time for baths? I mean after they've eaten in the morning? Before they eat? Afternoon? Doesn't matter? Dex is starting to like his baths a little more, but wasn't sure if there was a better time. Usually if I give him a bath it's in the late morning when it has warmed up and once I gave him a bath in the early afternoon. Was just curious if there is a best time for baths? Thanks.

Normally I like to give my bearded dragons baths after they have warmed up in their basking spot, so more towards the afternoon but I don't think it really matters.

I like to give my boy a soak 2 hours after his light on and another one in the evening so he can do a little bit of exercise

Great! Thanks for info! Sounds like I'm doing good, then. I usually wait until he basks, had his breakfast, and does his morning poo before giving him a bath.

sometimes warm baths can help them go to the bathroom too!

Hopefully if he gets in a pickle with his poos it will work. lol Thank goodness, so far, he's right on schedule with them. He's just now getting so he'll relax in the bath. First few times he did the spread eagle not even moving a muscle thing. lolol He's getting better now. Will lower himself a bit, but still not completely relaxed. Water's not even up to his belly silly boy. hahahahaha
