Actually since I use different body washes almost daily..
I've noticed that its not the scent that they notice about their actual owner or handler...
Its the way you approach them.
The confidence you have in reaching in to grab them is what they,
Or what I have come to notice,
React to.
All of mine don't hide or try to defend them selves when I go to handle them or change their water.
But when one of my other family members or friends do
They instantly react to either defend or hide.
My family doesn't have the same demeanor in approaching them or even opening their enclosure as I do.
But once you pick them up.
Im sure they feel you and smell your natural scent and instantly remember" hey this is the usual animal that handles me"
But this is my opinion and observations.
