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 just re-fluff the mulch, re-moisten if necessary...

When I do completely clean bins I use simple green.

Hmm, I didn't use any soap because I wasn't sure which soaps would be safe. Anything that strips oil would be unsafe I would think??? Anyway. I took the tub outside and sprayed it out with the hose and wiped her down with a wet towel. She coiled up within an hour and ate like a monster two 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

yep just warm water for about 20-30 mins and wipe the tub out and they eat fine for me

I just gave mine a quick bath, no soap, and clean the tub out with a clorox/water solution.

( of course this is the one that slugged out on me the first time trying to breed ( planned ) lol Istill got my het pied and 3 others that might fall in as possible gravid if they don't eat soon.
