Question

Hi everyone,

I just disinfected all my tubs with diluted bleach (10 part water - 1 part bleach) and rinsed them thoroughly. Anyways I can still smell a faint scent of bleach in the tubs. Will this be ok or can they get sick?

Ya your fine just make sure they were rinsed all the way.

I would let them air out a bit more. Personally.

I think just to be sure I'll let them air out a bit more. Thanks for the quick responses.

No it is not ok. bleach is quite toxic to reptiles. There should be no residual smell left. If you place the tub outside in the sun it will help speed the process. (bleach being broken down by UV light)
