Need a Product Recommendation

I'm looking for any recommendations for cleaning products to use in cleaning a BP enclosure's glass walls etc. Just plain old water? Any other stuff that will clean better without harming the snake with fumes after spraying & wiping?

Thanks again.

I use Nolvasan.

The only thing I can seem to find on the petco website is "Zoo Med Wipe Out 1 Terrarium & Small Animal Cage Cleaner"

A local pet store by me may have something else as well - there was a "natural chemistry" brand product that was a basic reptile enclosure cleaner (either "reptile spray" or "healthy habitat" or some name).

chlorhexidine gluconate, check Amazon.com for generic brand or any online reptile store for Virosan

okay - i see a gallon on amazon for about $13 - much cheaper than the Novalsan at $53/gal. I assume you mix into a diluted solution and then its safe for pet contact

It's not COMPLETELY safe for contact, but it has a much lower toxicity than bleach. Give it a rinse after using it.
If there is any residue, it won't do any harm. It's used as a skin disinfectant for surgery, and surgical scrub.

If you are JUST looking to clean the glass, and not properly clean and disinfect the cage, then I would recommend just using vinegar and water.

okay thanks. what sort of vinegar? (apple vinegar, balsamic, red wine, etc???) - I'm kinda a newb so I don't want to get the wrong kind and make a snake tank salad!

also what ratio of vinegar to water in the solution?

1 part white distilled vinegar with 2 parts water.

This works fine for all glass surfaces in your home, and is more 'eco-friendly' than using ammonia products. It's safe for use in your snake cage.

Just be sure the cage gets properly cleaned and disinfected regularly.

excellent - thanks again.

I use a 3:1 solution of water and simple green, which is pretty strong for simple green. Rinses out easily though with anything, rinse plenty.

I've never asked though, is this acceptable?

I use only chlorhexadine. It is fantastic stuff.

+1 to chlorahexadine gluconate. Got mine at proexotics.com. Great product IMO.

chlorahexadine gluconate, best thing too use. no need to let it sit out like bleach to get rid of the smell. it actually smells delicious!
