All lizard species should have a shallow and open water bowl. The lizard will use this for soaking, whenever they need it. almost all lizard species, whether they are domesticated or live in the desert, will enjoy a water bowl.

For domesticated lizards that are currently shedding, the owners should encourage their pets to soak in a water bowl. Or they can use a plant mister to get the lizard to shed its skin. Spray the lizard with water 2 to 3 times a week.

Bearded dragons normally have some old skin stuck in their body. Soaking helps remove old skin.

If the pet lizard is still unable to shed off the old skin despite regular soaking, the pet owner should not attempt to peel off the skin. There might be some muscles or bones that could be damaged.

It is best to bring the pet to the vet for treatment. This is to ensure that the lizard is not suffering from an allergic reaction and if there is a need for medication.
