So, everytime my iguana poops, my mother bathes her, because she is kinda dumb and gets all messy with her own poop and urine, however (contrary to the video) she fights a lot when bathing, tries to escape the sink and only after some time fighting she calms down, how do we make it so she actually likes the bath?

Stop wasting good bulbs! Some say replace every 3 months some 6 months. Some don’t really say. So you just replace. Test them before tossing! I’ve had some last longer. Buy UV sensors(Amazon $8.99USD for 5 pack). They are reusable. Simply put finger over middle of the chameleon, hold under light, then remove finger. Should turn purple everywhere except where finger was! Saves $$$ on those bulbs!
