Havent introduced my Royal to water yet, wondering what you girls and guys use ?? We dont have a bath in our place so thats out the question. Any other suggestions, im thinking a pond ?? Keep it in the shed, stick it in the bathroom and fill it when its swim time ?? Sound good/bad ??

Thanks in advance Very Happy

To be honest, Royals in my experience don't like swmming enough to warrant a pond or bath! You should have a water bowl in its viv big enough for it to curl up in if he wants, but a bath is probably overkill.

I would say keep your germs apart from one another. Shocked

They do like to dip at least part of their bodies into the water. Make sure you have a large enough water bowl in there, and that it is sturdy.
