For animal use only. (It's not talking about reptiles but fur animals)
For Reptile use: From the pangeareptile website
Chlorhexidine (aka Nolvasan) is a very effective bacteriacide, virucide, and fungicide. 100% safe to use in reptile cages because it leaves no toxic residue or fumes. This is the same stuff veterinarians use to irrigate wounds and is even used as a mouthwash for animals and people. We have been using this product for years and it has our full endorsement.
Dilution rate for Chlorhexidine: 1 ounce (2 Tbsp) solution per 1 gallon of clean water.
I fill my sink with a solution to rinse off all the items in the enclosures to clean all the hides, plastic plants, plastic logs in there. rinse well and dry off
I also use a spray bottle to clean enclosures too, after I wipe it out I let it air out for 10 minutes before putting snake back in.
I use it to spot clean areas where snakes have used the bathroom, I clean out the substrate spay and wipe with that stuff.
I have never detected a lingering odor after from the snakes mess. (My nose might not be the best sniffer though)
as it says 1 ounce per gallon of water, 128 ounces to the gallon that makes quite a bit.
Everybody has their own experiences I'm sure, But I've been using it for years and like the stuff and think it does a good job
Hope this helps
