Hey all, I gave my beardeds a bath this afternoon all except one (new boy) are used to having them, so i made sure everything was safe and left them for 10-15 to swim around. I was taking them out when i noticed that the new boy was like a balloon his stomache was HUGE so i picked him up and gently pressed on his stomach to see if it was water or air then a whole gust of air came out ...now his fine LOL i just want know if thats normal? because i've never had it happen before. Perhaps he was trying to use the built up air as a type of floatation device??
