How many of the leo owners here soak their little guys regularly?
How often? And is there a marked difference in the leos that are soaked and the ones that aren't soaked... assuming that both animals have access to humid hides...
Thanks!

I agree with Eddie on this one. Always have a humid hide box. If they do seem to be dehydrated you can get a small showbox and lay down a paper towel and soak it down with water and have about 1/16" of water above it, cover it up and give them 15 minutes.

The only time I soak my geckos is when one of them has some shed stuck on thier toes. I add just enough water to cover the feet and soak for about 5 minutes
