How Do You Clean Up

[NightLad]

Alcohol sanitizer, like they use in hospitals. Then hot water and soap.

Crap, I didn't read your second post and I thought you were talking about tanks/tubs. So... Yeah, I'm that lonely 1 bleach solution, lol. (If it's not too much to ask, could a mod change that?)

Typically I use my hand sanitizer, but I'll normally wash my hands with soap and water before I touch anything from the kitchen.

Hand Sanitizer then Soap and Water.

[mechnut450]

soap and water for everything I will bleach hte tub once a month but weekly and my hands,arms and face since one snakes things my glasses are a place to perch just soap and water, if at a show and I handle or even touch anything Alcohol sanitizer.


was gongi ot say a bottle of jack but I rather drink it. lol

most thetime i wait until I am either down with the reptiels/rodents for th day and get a bath but ifI eat befoer then I wach them real good. I am more liky to pick up a germ or a cold being outside doing something than from my snakes.

Mostly I wipe the glass down with plain water. If it's something nasty, I'll use a dilute vinegar solution.

Only if it's really bad and smelly will I use a weak bleach solution, then rinse very well.

Soap and water, before and after. That includes all animals I come in contact with(yes, dogs too).

Wow! That sounds crazy to me, but I guess that's because my dog is always by my side when I'm home. If I washed my hands after every time I came in contact with him I'd be washing my hands every few minutes!

Ah, most of my dogs were outside all the time as hunting dogs. God knows what they carry.

Now the pitbulls my sister rescues from ontario are all indoor dogs who like to cuddle, so in that scenario I just make it a habit to wash them when I see a sink and not touch my face till then.

I just use soap and water after handling my snake. I often wash my hands before because I work with a lot of chemicals and am a bit paranoid about passing them along. The enclosure I use a steamer and the cage furniture I wash with a vanodine soap. It is an iodine based soap usually used for birds but hey if it work for birds snakes should be no problem. I then carefully rinse the cage furniture and wipe out the cage.

I USE HAND SOAP & WATER, I ONLY USE SANITIZER WHEN I CANT GET TO A SINK

[musicalKeyes]

Sanitizer if I can't get to a sink and at shows, soap and water any other time. Generally I'm not too careful at all, but I've got a few animals in quarantine, and I don't want to pass anything between snakes. If I'm not handling the snakes, (i.e. working at a farm I volunteer at or playing with my dogs) I'm not careful at all. If my hands feel dirty, I'll wash them, but most of the time I forget. And haven't gotten sick yet, thank goodness
