    The second would be good for a hatchling for a few months and then the first would be good for a juvenile or small adult.

    I don't think there's much of a difference, both will work. Depending on how you're going to heat them would be most important.

    If you mean cleaning the tubs/cages i recommend chlorhexidine. Has not odor when used and no wait time for it to air out once you wipe out the cage/tub

    Its in mouthwashes, however. But no you want the concentrate that you mix with water. You MAY need to mix a new batch every time you use it, however. I've heard many times you absolutely do but last I heard there had been no real study on its effectiveness on Gram negative or positive bacteria after having been mixed with tap water after a couple weeks. I remember hearing, however, that if it is in distilled water then it should be able to last longer, but I again have not seen a comprehensive study on this.
