    What to use to disinfect tank used for bearded dragons....?
    I just sold my 2 bearded dragons to make room for another BP...

    Question, once I remove all the sand and hose down the tank, what should I use to disinfect the tank to make sure the next snake I get will be in a completely clean environment?

    We use F 10 disinfectant. You could also use the standard diluted bleach solution as well. Hope this helps.

    I also use F10 on my tanks, but, in addition to the diluted bleach solution, you can also use Chlorhexidine.

    I normally use the mite spray stuff just to be on the safe side, then I use diluted bleach. After that I just make sure it's thoroughly rinsed and let it air dry.

    Hot soapy water (F10scxd) and a good scrub rinse well, and F10sc or Chlorahexidine. Bleach as well it just takes longer to work. (45min against virus)

    The advantage of Chlorahexidine abd F10 line is you do not need to wash it out like bleaches.

    I would be concerned with mixing mite sprays and bleaches. There could be reactions and both pyretherns and bleach decomp chems are bad news ( phenol and chlorine gas)
