I have two large adult Bearded Dragons, a male and a female.  I got them in trade from a pet shop and they smell.  Is it OK to wash then off and if so, is mild soap and water OK?

~One of the best things to do for dragons is give them , at least, a weekly warm bath. spam_~Emphasis on WARM!~ It helps with shedding, hydration, evacuation and most of them just plain enjoy it! spam_(Although they do not always seem to at first)

~ They will puff up with air, (for flotation, I assume,) but this goes back down after they have been out of the water for awhile. When they first experience a bath, some dragons will flail and struggle, as if terrified. spam_They normally get used to the water after awhile.

~I make it a point to scoop out their feces as soon as possible after they do it. That is a very important area. Dragons will run through the stuff picking up the odor and bacteria! spam_It is much safer for them and easier to keep them from contracting diseases if the tank is kept clean.

~ I do not usually use any kind of soap. spam_If I really feel the need to use something to cleanse them, I keep a supply of baby shampoo on hand. spam_A good rinsing off is necessary in that case.

~ If your dragons are having any difficulty with evacuation, a warm bath is always my first suggestion, followed by gentle tummy massaging. spam_Usually, the warm water will take care of it.

Thanks Jude
I knew theywould not desolve in water &nbsp;<img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''> , but the soap thing was what I was really looking for. &nbsp;Never know when an animal species might be allergic or sensitive. &nbsp;I'll see that my buddies get a bath!
