Man Oh Man

The new blood just took the biggest dump I've ever seen in my life. Haha it was a monster. Comparable to a large dogs. And boy did it reek (sp).

Got it all cleaned out with a full gallon of mixed chlorhexidine. Just the 1 oz pump to a gallon of water.

But it still smells like ****!!!!

Is my last option to use a higher concentration of chlorhexidine to water before the rinse. Or a bleachy water solution?

This is the blood I aquired from lillyorchid. So many of you know his size and beauty :) pics of him and I will be posted as soon as I can. Along with pics of the turd that caused a small earthquake.

Chlorhexidine really isn't used for cleaning, it's for disinfecting. If the tub is really bad, I'll take it to the tub and use palmolive on it, then chlorhexidine. Vinegar or bleach work well too.

So more or less a full tub disinfection with bleach water. I did it today just used chlorhexidine though.

I will probably go ahead and do the bleach. Nothing like doing the whole thing all over again. Its okay though.

And yeah its still stinky. But man I scrubbed that thing good. And it still smells. What a trooper he is :)

When my boa defecates, it looks like a mastiff has been inside her tub. I just take the whole thing outside(it's a VE-175 from reptile tubs) and scrub it with dish soap.

For the chlorhexidine, I usually use 2-3 oz per gallon. Safe to spray on the snake at the concentration too. Mine usually get a wipedown if there is poo present in their tub. Icky little things, LOL.

Wow you clean him off with that concentration? Didn't know that was safe. I always went by the 1 pump to 1 gallon rule. I'm getting ready to bleach his tub as we speak. Ill go ahead and dishsoap it too. Its stinky. Haha.

And yeah I wipe mine down after they poo or pee. They don't seem to mind too much.

I dont know about full strength chlorhexidine but I know a 50/50 solution was what the vet told me to use on a mild case of scale rot a rescue we took in last year had.

Yep.:D Thats what it is.

Wow I didn't know they used the mixture that strong like that. Good to know though. I know the 1 pump per gallon ratio doesn't need a rinse afterwards though.

On a better note. I got the whole setup bleached and rinsed well. Then another rinse with chlorhexidine. Just to be sure all the bleach was gone.

Put it all back together. Smell free!!! That makes me feel better. And I'm sure he appreciates it without the smell also.

Hopefully the roommate shows up so I can upload the pics I took of him and his king kong dump. Be watching out for em.

Oh NO!!! this poo was unlike any other. A gift from hell you could say. I know they're poop stinks just from the way they're digestive system works. Especially with the raw meat diet. Its just the balls poo never stank this bad. The cool thing was he passed some urates the same size as the poo. Pics will show.

(Hurry up roommate)
