Default They Poo After A Bath

Hi Folks,

I'm just wondering why my two Leopards choose to do a dump either a) In their bath water when I wash them, or b) straight after when I am taking them out?
Is it because they are stressed / scared or is there some other reason?

Cheers, Sam

all my torts poo in the bath,
I know they wee in water naturally so they can replenish themselves while they wee, as for poo i am unsure y they do that in the bath, maybe the lubricant of the water makes it more comfortable.
