Stinky

[Lonwolf]

My dragon, quesa-dilla is about 5 months old, and I'm finding him more and more stinky, I bathe him most nights, but it doesn't help, anyone know of some ways to help with odor

What kind of substrate are you using? Does he run thru his poop? You can try and use some unscented baby shampoo to bath its not going to help w/ the smell but it will help get the yuck off --- it is not good to bath dragons too much and daily is too much -- it will dry his scales out

It is most likely the tank, not the dragon. I would spray down the tank every day with a vinegar water solution, and maybe add a little lavender essential oils to the cleaner… and vacuum every other day at least.

Agreeing with Sadie about bathing. I bathe my beardie twice a week.

Okay thanks for the tips, I use porcelain tiles for substrate and clean his cage every night, with a deep clean at the end of each week, what are the water to vinegar portions you use

In a plastic spray bottile I put 1/4 cup vinegar and fill it with water. I also add 3 drops of lavender essential oils, If you want it to smell (not like vinegar). Good Luck!

I use 50/50 water and vinegar to clean my dragon's tanks. They get soaked when they are shedding and twice a month.
