    Cleaning equiment

    I'm going to really clean some equipment I had for my ball python when she was a baby. Wat are the best things to do? I was simply going to boil some of the stuff

    If it's not plastic and boiling is fine, do that. Otherwise a good soak in bleach, then let it air out and dry for a week or so. Otherwise i would just use Chlorhexadine very generously and let it sit for at least 45 minutes.

    You can do the water and bleach soaking and rinse, or you could even run it through the dishwasher and use the heated dry cycle. That sterilizes everything. Just don't put plastics in there.
