Taking chameleon in the shower?

[Sebaslechu]

Should you take every chameleon into the shower what are the benefits of doing so??

Depends on how they handle it. Some love it and clean their eyes and get a really good drink. It can give them a good hydration boost.

Main benefit for most is that they can give their animal a good long watering without turning their living room into a swimming pool.
It's good for hydration and can help with shedding.

What about the clorine and other chemicals in the water, wouldn’t it be harmful?

That depends on the country/area you're in. If I were, for example, French I'd not do it, French water tastes and smells like chlorine, eventho it's considered safe to drink... Luckily I'm Dutch and any traces of chemicals are neglectable.

If you're unsure, contact the company that cleans your water and they should be able to provide with a list of what's in the water and how much % is in there.

What about soap or shampoo?

@Mr. J hahaha have you not done any research? Soap and shampoo? You do realize you need conditioner as well...

Don’t forget the bubble bath, chameleons need to be soak in the bubbles to get that smooth skin.

Typically you don't take your chameleon into the shower when you are showering but you'll buy a large plant (ficus) and put him on there and leave the shower running, try to make the water hit the chameleon indirectly (By bouncing it off the wall, otherwise the water may hit him to hard)...

I imagine soap meant for people wouldn't be good enough for that luscious chameleon skin

A quality exfoliater is paramount for your chameleon's natural glow
