: how big is Baby??? (i'm always looking to compare size/age + figure out if iZ really was about 1yo when i got him)

: ditto to what everyone else said about baths, disinfecting ... *always* assume that salmonella is present + take careful precautions and you shouldn't ever have a problem with it spreading ... you can use disinfecting sprays, but really bleach/water is just as good, if not better and ever so much cheaper! (i refill the tub with a couple inches of water, dump some bleach in it, swish it around, let it sit for 15-20 min and then drain)

: some (most?) igs are afraid of the tub at 1st ... start with *very* shallow water! just enough to get the bottom of the tub wet, not enough for Baby to float ... til he gets used to it ...

: Happy Bath Time!

Baby is only 14" from snout to tip of tail. I guess some people were shocked to hear that when I posted that info earlier in this forum, but being that I'm new, I don't know what to compare him to. We bought him last august and he was pretty tiny then. Maybe he was the runt!? (o;
