Hi guys,
You cant compare uros with chucks in this. I never bath any of my desert lizards and only if they are new to the collection and look dehydrated or if the lizards are sick.....
I agree with
phil on the not bathing uros..... I have seen lots of uro's with tailrot, although I do not know if they all got it from bathing I do know that its not really bennificial for a healthy uromastyx to get bathed so Why do it ?? And a uromastyx tail is way more difficult to dry properly than a chuck tail, so they are more likely to get fungus or rot underneath the spines.
LMS I see lots of uromastyx in zoo that do not look half as good as mine!
I never want to compare my care with the care in a zoo, the only advantage they have is space, I give the lizards way more atention, and I only have to know the husbandry of the few species I keep.......
I must admit I do not see the advantage of bathing a healthy chuck or uromastyx, other than cleaning them a little for a nice picture......
gr. Kamiel
