swimming!!!

[tequila]

today i let my beardie swim in the tub to have some fun. he started to swim around a bit and i think he got some water in his ears or something because he started freakin out. i saw the water level was up to his ears but i didn't think water could get in them because of that film like thing they have in there ear hole. he tried to scratch at is face with his back foot so i took him out of the water and dried him off and he seemed fine then. any ideas why he started to freak out and scratch at his face like that?

thanks for the help
