Hello. So someone said to soak my crested gecko. How do you soak them. Do they mean to spray them or to actually soak them like a snake? If so, how do you soak crested geckos? Thanks

Thanks for reaching out about Aspen. It is sometimes difficult to soak them since they climb walls well. A shallow pan with a lid might keep Aspen in the water for several minutes, by not allowing to climb out. Just don't make it stressful. Abort if concerned and leave to spraying/misting. Good luck.
