Or do I wash everything with dawn dishwasher soap, then disinfect with chlorhexadine and then use healthy habitat? Is healthy habitat even a cleaner? When my snake has a bowel movement, can I use healthy habitat to clean I do I need to disinfect also with chlorhexadine? Sorry for the barrage of questions but I was not sure of what I am supposed to do step by step and I couldn't find anything on the stickies section or anything details from the search function. And in planning to switch to f10 since it can last longer when mixed with tap water in a container.
    Once a month? I'm doing once a week on all our BP's. Never know what bacteria can grow/ how fast it can spread. Guess I'm just a bit obsessive ha.
    I spray all the cages out with a diluted solution of 10-15% chlorhexadine once a week and wipe down the tub very well.(along with the top and bottom of each cubbyhole where the tubs sit) Once every two weeks I take out everyone's water bowls, fill them up with 20% vinegar and 80% hot water. I let them sit for 10-15 min. That way all the hardwater deposit that is caked on the sides comes off with ease. Then I wash them out with dawn antibacterial soap and fill them with fresh water

    Then BAM! you got your self a clean rack, with happy snakes
