    Where to buy chlorhexidine?

    Is there any local type of places that sell this stuff or do I need to order it online? Do most people just buy a gallon or more and then use a spray bottle?

    I need to to clean my ball python tubs.

    Thanks!

    I bought the concentrate at a reptile show. You mix it with water. The small bottle lasts forever.

    Reptile basics. If you only have a couple snakes you dont have to buy it by the gallo.. the smaller bottle will last a while for a few tubs

    It is quite common if you are in Canada you can likely get it from a vet.

    Just remember that once diluted it only lasts for a week if in a poorly closed container (spray bottle) and mixed with tap water. It can last one month if diluted with distilled water and in a closed container (tight fitting lid so no air exchanges) It also takes time to work generally 20-30 min of contact time to be effective.

    Reptile Basics, it mixes on a 1:5 ratio with water from my reverse osmosis filter in a one liter spray bottle at a time. It is important to use water with a low TDS count (total dissolved solids)for best results. It will last you for years.
