[QUOTE="xp29, post: 2045003, member: 114539"] Zen was actually taking a drink when he aspirated, it was the first time in his four years of life that he ever drank in a soak, and it cost him his life. The reason for the soak was he had a sperm plug and I was trying to soften it for removal. I'm not implying that there is never a reason for a soak, some instances warrant it. But if a soak is necessary I think a hand should be under their front legs at all times. I don't think baths should be given "just because" I was literally standing right there when it happened, he went from taking a drink to drowning in less than a second. Luckily I was aware of how to handle an aspirated beardie and even at that we spent several hours helping breath after the fact. It still ended with pneumonia and him passing. I'm sorry but I just can't in good conscience ever reccomend putting a beardie fully in water, even if it's shallow. [/QUOTE]
