Not true, beardie Wash is 100% safe for them
Only use lukewarm water make sure u buy Reptisafe drops to place in the water to remove the chlorine!!! Also make sure it’s lightly warm not hot and play mediation music on low volume to relax them. You can also get a soft toothbrush and brush them downwards lightly to help any itchyness and as a light massage. No soaps or chemicals ever and bathe for 15min min then Pat then dry and place them under the heat lamp. Make sure the water level is way below their neck. Everyone on here is giving u advise and it seems as tho u want to argue and tell everyone that it’s ok to use soaps and chemicals the answer again is NO. We rescue and rehome and u cannot use soap. U may use a teeny drop of an all natural soap if he gets poop all over him to scrub him lightly then rinse him well. But bathing is done without soaps or chemicals.

See my guy struggles to eat any greens. The vet said that’s normal but he doesn’t poop regularly because of it. So I moreso do the baths to keep him hydrated and hope to coax a poop out of him. He hasn’t pooped for a couple weeks.
If you start his bath cool and leave the tap water running slightly. They like to see movement in the water and drink it. Or you can put bit's of water on the end of his nose so it will trickle into his mouth. Once he has had a drink put warmer water in. Always make sure the water dies not cover his ears.
