My BP seems to be constipated

Bathing totally works. My 4 year old female hadn't passed urates in over 2 weeks and hadn't pooped in about a month. She had a perfect shed last Thursday and I was expecting her to go to the bathroom after but she didn't. I figured it was time to try a bath so I got an under bed storage tote with a lid and put about an inch of luke warm water in it. At first she didn't seem to like it but she calmed down after a few minutes and soon after she let 2 weeks of urates out. No giant turds yet but atleast she got something out.

While bathing does work. It's a bit unnecessary unless the animals hasn't pooped in over 2 months or 1 month for hatchlings, that's my rule of thumb anyways. Dehydration is a common cause of constipation. First up your humidity. Then If it's been a while with humidity upped then try a soak at 88.f. Yes this an actual exact suggested temp. I find when people say Luke warm, or tepid. That can mean different things or feel different to different people. 88.f is the temp I use for all soaks. It's the perfect temp. Grab your digital therm out of the tank and put the probe in the water.
