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 but it a gallon at a time from Reptile Basics.

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

I bought mine off of Amazon.

I think I bought a gallon from BeanFarm
it lasts forever

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.
