How do you clean your tanks/tubs?

[donkiez]

Im looking for the best way to clean cages and I want to make sure I use a cleaner that wont hurt my animals. What do you all suggest?

Cholorhexadine.

Cholorhexadine.

That's what I use -- bought the bottle from reptile basics (I'm thinking the bottle should probably last the entire life of my snake).

I just take my snake out (my daughter holds him while I clean). I wash all of the furnishings in the sink with hot H2O and antibacterail soap. I pull out the newspaper, spray down the cage with the chlororhexadine, and then wipe it down. I usually give it a second spray and wipe (must be OCD).

This all takes about 15 minutes (I only clean the cage when he pees or poops).

Later,

I use a thing called Healthy Habitat. It comes in a spray bottle.

My UTH is under the tank (guess that's where they came up with the name). So, I don't touch my UTH -- I just clean the inside, not the outside.

Soap and hot water, followed by 10% chlorhexedine left on for 5 minutes, then rinsed off.
My quarantine bins are cleaned with soap and water, and then sterilized with a 10% bleach solution, and rinsed very well with hot water afterward.
