Expert Answer

Bathe a bearded dragon about once a week for about 5 minutes. Bathing relaxes muscles, promotes excretion, and helps shedding, but frequency and duration must not be too high or long, or it may cause skin rot or pneumonia. The water should be suitable, 30 to 40 C, with depth just covering the back, not the head.
