Soaking a juvenile Sulcata

[StudentoftheReptile]

I have a small water dish for Kobe, and I mist him daily. How often should I soak him? Currently, he only gets soaked once a week.

I know Tom soaks his babies daily, but even he admits that probably isn't necessary. I was just curious how often everyone else does it.

i soak mine daily, i have 4 of them haha and i soak them 2 by 2, i used to soak them 1 by 1 but 4 seperate soaks would take me almost an hour lol i would get up and get down every 12 minutes or so, and i would lose track of he soaking time and sometimes they would be in there for like 20 minutes lol but now i soak them in pairs and they drink water and get misted as well, but thats just how i do it

I soak them almost every day for the first 6 months or so. By one year old I drop it to 2-3 times a week. But it does depend on the weather. I soak more often and for longer duration, when its hotter and drier, like summer. I taper them off gradually.
