    Enclosure Upgrading and swapping question??

    So when the new AP enclosure arrives and I get it set-up, Cheyenne (Boa Constrictor) with be getting one of the larger enclosures.

    That will empty out a 36x18x18 Exo Terra enclosure.

    What do I need to do to make that safe to upgrade one of my Ball-Pythons to??

    I hear the stories about diseases that Boas can get that can be passed on to Pythons, Just cleaning out the enclosure (glass, front opening) with a

    bleach spray, rinse then Chlorhexidine do the trick??

    I have a garage I can use whatever chemicals needed, with out affecting any of the snakes. It can also sit out there as long as needed.


    As added info:

    Cheyenne was an adoption, I will have had her for 3 years in July, No neurotic issues, been to the vet, eats like a champ, never misses a meal,

    no regurgitation's, diarrhea, or other issues, basically easy to handle, So I would believe she would be a healthy snake.

    I like to use soap and warm water, rinse, then air dry. Then spray with ~70% ethanol, and air dry. Clean and disinfected.

    If you disinfect with bleach (another great alternative to ethanol, but harder on hands and clothes) following with another disinfectant isn't necessary.
