Hello every 1 right has any one else seen this ?? when i bath Buddygaa she doesnt like water really and only had a soak when in heavy shed and while i do a big clean she has 5 mins in big bath then gets out , how ever our newest Sidney well he had a really bad shed when he came i think it was possabley the last 2/3 shed all together stuck on the poor chap so he was soaked every other day he it all came over after a couple of weeks and he has just had his first proper shed for some time it seem s so i know he is ok and every thing is great in his viv BUT when he is in the bath i always put in a lrg log so they can have a rest or rub against when in shed but he keeps going under water and swimming the water is shallow at 1 end only 1/2 cm and at deep end 6 cm so he doesnt have to go in the deep bit but he seems to keep going back to it at 1st i stopped him and took him out as he had his head under for some time , each time i always put him in shallow end with the log but he keeps doing it , i know its not hurting him as other wise he wouldnt of starting eating , shedding and poohing but it seems he thinks hes a water snake is it really bad ?? (long term ) .
Bathed them both last night and Buddygaa went to dart right out but i held her and gentlely lowered her down into shallow end i also have a large log in to make her feel there is some thing to hold in case that was the problem within mins she was having a swim and climbed onto log and kept on doing it , so am happy now as i like to give them a bath when they shed even when there have a damp hide , how ever sid still thinks he is an eel and or loch ness monster.
