Some recommend 15 minutes, others 30 minutes.
Others say an hour is pushing it.
I used to average about 20 minutes or so.

Remember that if it poops in the water, change it, clean it, and re-bathe the iguana.

Too long in the water, especially when babies, can damage their skin. The water should not be over the shoulders, and must be luke warm. To ease movment, one of those 'non-slip' rubber shower rugs can help the lil guy move about (if u bathe him in the shower/tub).

Put a resting place, so the iguana can have a place to lay its head on out of the water. this can be a bundled-up towel (easy to climb on) or whatever.

Sounds like things are going along great! Keep up the good work!

: Hey Everybody, whatsup? Sorry for any typos ahead of time, my Hand just decided to fall asleep and I can't feel anything...Anyway my baby Ig is doing great! I've had him for about 3 weeks and he's still very tame. He's hard to catch, but once I get him, he doesn't mind to be handled in anyway. I was wondering, how long do you guys keep your Igs in their bath and how deep is the water? Thanx
