    Re: Cleaning

    Yeah, that's right, none of us clean our enclosures.

    Most commonly recommended is chlorhexidene (might be misspelled). Bleach also seems to work for a lot of people, but you have to be sure to rinse it thoroughly. Vinegar is another possibility.

    Re: Cleaning

    Chlorhexidine http://www.agri-med.com/site/255063/product/CHLRHN2S16 for daily cleaning of tubs, hides, water dishes, surfaces, and snakes on occasion.

    I also completely bleach the tubs every 4 to 6 weeks.

    Re: Cleaning

    I use 2% chlorhexadine. I saw a place online to buy a gallon of it, but don't remember where (sorry). I also saw that Pro Exotics had an ad for it on KS.
    Personally I found a local large animal veterinary supply store near me. I bought a gallon for $20, it'll go a loooooong way because you dilute it (FYI: once it's diluted it's only good for a few hours).
