Chlorhexidine solution

What ration to you guys mix this stuff in? Reptile Basics says 1-2oz per gallon, but the label says 1 oz per gallon.

1-2 oz. Or 1 oz.

I don't really measure - probably use more than I really need to but the stuff isn't exactly expensive nor is it really harmful - so have fun with it. :rolleye2:

I always mix it on the stronger side,but thats how I roll;)

Just buy a gallon of distilled water and add one oz of chlorhex. Works fine at that concentration. :-)

1-2oz per gallon. I got the 1 oz pump for my solution bottle so it's easy to dispense the right amount. :)

You'll notice that Reptile Basics, on their pitch for the gallon size of Chlorhexidine Gluconate, says "follow instructions on label for use and mixing."

When in doubt, always follow the manufacturer's label.
