sav and tegu

[monstruo-the-tegu]

what would happen if i let them bathe together

 

[Rhetoric]

I wouldnt do it. They could be fine, there could be a fight or they might pass something to each other

 

[james.w]

Why are you bathing your Sav?

 

[monstruo-the-tegu]

my sav poops on her self when i pick her up and shes just really dirty so ibathe her every week

 

[james.w]

It is pooping because it doesn't want to be picked up.

 

[monstruo-the-tegu]

i know i am in process of taming her and so far she has tamed down to now she doesnt hiss`i hold her for 30 min to an hour depending on what show i watch with her and once you get her in your hands she starts relaxing and lets you hold her

Especially if you are still in the process of taming animals and they haven't calmed down for you yet, they haven't really in general either. So I would not risk putting them together since they are nervous and could attack each other out of fear or just not liking each other. It would probably help tame it more if you spent some time alone with it anyway. The bath wouldn't be as stressful.

Monitors do much better if you don't force handle them. Using food to gain their trust is Tue least stressful way to tame them down. Moving them from their enclosure to the bathtub is extremely stressful. Get the enclosure setup properly and they won't require baths.
