Removing the smell of eggs.

[Adam Chandler]

I have a former 2100g female that is now 1037g after laying that I would really like to get back on feed. My question is how do you guy remove the smell of egg from the females?

So far I put some diluted chlorhexidine solution on a paper towel and wiped her down best I could then raised her off and put her in a different tub with fresh bedding and all. Is there anything else I am missing?

I just clean the tub and water bowl really well and put them back. They don't seem to be stressed or missing anything. I've had good luck getting them back on feed the next day.

I washed my Blood Python girl with the same diluted Chlorhexidine

Waited a couple days and then did it again

CLeaned the tub obviously and put new paper in

She ate for me a couple days later and ate again this week

I just do a complete tub wash (including cleaning the water bowl, changing the substrate, etc.) and then rinse the female herself by holding her under the faucet (luke warm water). That's all I do and they've always begun to take rats again when I offer them.

I clean and disinfect the tub and water bowl, and then let the female swim in some water with a tiny bit of detergent or chlorhex, and give her a quick rub down.

They eat the next day.
