    Re: Got a question for you more expirienced

    Is it possible to buy Chlorhexidine at a store or does it need to be ordered from a reptile supply site?

    You could try a local feed store or vet supply store. I peronally could never find it in a store. You could ask your vet if they can get it for you too. I got my last bottle from the Tinley NARBC show.

    Do a search in the husbandry forum, you can find a lot more infor there.

    I just used washing up liquid for the tub and gave the female a soak in a couple inches of plain ol' water in a tub for an hour. She ate 2 days later.

I'm not saying my way is right, it's just what I did and it worked for me. She's had several meals since.

    the three girls that have layed for me this year i just let them soak in warm water for about 30 minutes and washed out the tub. all three have bitten me as soon as i opened there tubs for food. and still eating great. i literally have to use a shield for my BIG girl. a soak and a tub wash is all it took for me
