    chlorhexidine products and other

    I've read that many people use chlorhexidine to clean their snake cages, but I saw one person say that they used listerine. Is mouth wash safe to use to clean snake tanks?

    I'd mix it in a spray bottle with water, and rinse as well.

    Yes listerine has been used as an effective cleaner/disinfectant, in the past it was used for more than just mouthwash, and some still use it today for disinfecting.

    and shipping is only 4.95 (right now). I just got me a bottle. Should last me a long time.
