cleaning glass tank

I know I know, this has been asked tons of times, BUT is there a speical sulotion i should use to clean my snakes tank or just plain old water??

Personally I use hot water and a bit of soap, then a good wipe down with vinegar and water (gets rid of water spots), rinse till there's no smell, buff with a handful of plain old newspaper and you should have a lovely clean and shiney glass tank (also works really well to spiff up Mr. Glass too!):sunny:

thank you, i'm planning on cleaning tommorrow when i take her out to feed. and wasn't sure about the soap...

As long as it's a mild soap, and you rinse well you should be fine. I use chlorhexadine to clean my cages, and I know some people use a bleach/water solution. The bleach and water makes me a bit nervous so I would go with one of the two aforementioned ideas. Have fun cleaning! :D

Oh and I just can't imagine buffing Jamie with newspaper. :no: He'd never sit still long enough to get a really good shine. ;)

You're very welcome. :D

The one about the 6 foot gator. No sorry wish I did. Other than perhaps contacting someone from the Toledo Herp Society. They may be able to give you some advice but that's going to be a very difficult creature to place I would think. I believe this is their current contact number (419) 475-0521 (at least the most current one I could find on the web this morning).

thanks joanna, i'll give the number to my brother in law.:)

I use Chlorhexidine solution.

See, there's cleaning and then there's disinfecting. You clean first with a detergent such as a soap, to get any residue and dirt off, and then you disinfect with chlorhexidine solution or bleach to kill anything that the soap didn't get.

You can't disinfect dirt... There's no such thing as clean poop.
