Would more frequent misting with the spray bottle help with shedding?

I would give more frequent baths during shed. You could also brush with a soft toothbrush to help loosen it. You can also put pure aloe vera in the bath water or coconut oil (just rinse the coconut oil off before you put him under the lights).

Yep I would rec increased baths rather than misting as that will only increase your humidity in the tank which leads to upper resp issues... Not to mention I think warm soaks are way more effective..

I just cleaned my bathtub with bleach on thursday cuz it was dirty, ive been afraid to give my babies a bath because im scared they might drink the water and they can get some of it in them, you guys think its okay to put a smaller tub and fill it with water? Or it's fine doing it this way?

As long as you rinse the tub clean until it doesn't smell like bleach it should be fine.

I bathe my dragons in the tub once a week and after everyone gets bathed then I wash the tub with a Clorox bath scrubber. By the time baths come around again the chemical is long gone. If I give them more than one bath a week I will wash the tub with vinegar and water.

I bathe them twice a week if they are shedding. If not, once a week. How much vinegar do you use? Ill have to get some.

I always have a spray bottle ready, half water and half vinegar. I clean everything with it.
