    What do you use to clean your Animal plastics, Boaphiles cages?
    Anyone got any ideas on using some type of " natural " cleaner to clean python cages?

    I don't want to use any chemicals for fear they may be toxic.

    Thank you,
    Yosef

    F10 is a great product. Safe for snakes as long as you correctly dilute it. Also cheap and lasts a long time.

    I have to have something that will work in a 4x2....my borneo is growing FAST, and her next house is gonna be her permanent home. I am not familiar with Chlorhexidine. Can you just spray it and wipe it ? My girl pees alot and whatever I use in this new cage is gonna have to work in a cage that is way too big to rinse out with a shower hose like a sterilite tub.

    How do you mix it and where is the best place to get it?

    Can you pm me with details?

    Shalom,

    Yes, once you mix the Chlorhexidine, you can just spray and wipe. No need to air the cage before putting your animal back in. Just wipe it down. If you get the pump for the gallon, getting the mix measurements right is a breeze! I mix mine and put it in a large spray bottle I bought from the dollar store. Works perfectly! :gj:

    You can buy it online at Reptile Basics.
