Maybe I could change up what I use, but I still think I need something that kills viruses and bacteria. What do you use to sanitize yours?
    Watered down bleach with a bit of dove soap in it. Same stuff I use to wash goat teats with when I milk. I don't worry about bacteria and viruses. I was my hands after I mess with my reptiles and that's it.
