I need a water dish, and have this one in the "spare parts" bin from a re-homed snake I got. It has basic water build up (calcium, ect) on it.

Not from me, I don't let mine get like that, and I prefer using glass water bowls. But can this be cleaned safely to be able to use it?

Bleach soak? I'm guessing a CLR clean is out of the question. soap/water scrub with a scrub brush? fine sandpaper run over it?

Don't get me wrong, I'm all about re-using with a little work if needed, BUT I Do Not want to endanger my snakes!

So will toss it out and get a new $10.00 dish if that's what's needed no issues there. Just didn't know if it was reusable or not.

And Yes, I'll be asking lots of strange questions like this......

Thanks In Advance

Jeff
