    How to wash a BP

    My BP decided to poop and slide around through it. I washed her down with water but was wondering if there is a more thorough way of washing her?

    When something like this happens which is rare I wipe the animal down with this http://www.valleyvet.com/ct_detail.h...=chlorhexidine.

    Same thing I use to wipe down surfaces and clean enclosures.

    +3 and rare my foot! We've got three balls, six corns and a carpet that looooove destroying their tubs. You can almost hear them laughing when I open their tubs and start cussing. Our female spider is the worst. She always sloshes her water out too so she can spread it around even further. She is a dirty girl!

    Would half water and half hydrogen peroxide be acceptable as a cleaning solution?

    no peroxide. Honestly I have johnson and johnson baby shampoo and run them in clean bath tub or sink depending on size and wash them and rinse them. Its very safe no irritating and they smell nice afterwards. I wash them every time they defecate in their tubs. Some liek "baths" more than other but never had a problem
