    Question about F10

    Hi, I'm about to pick up a couple jugs of F10 to replace bleach when cleaning my herps enclosures. I'm wondering if F10 is completely safe for reptiles or if it should be rinsed like bleach. When I use bleach I rinse, wash with bleach, rinse, wash with water, and then rinse. Is this necessary with F10 or can I simply apply it and wipe or off or lightly rinse it ?

    Re: Question about F10

    I have been using F10 for a couple of years. When it comes to cleaning the tubs, I clean the tub with soap and water, wipe down with paper towels and then spray F10 and let it air dry; then replace paper towels in tub and put snake back in. I use F10 to clean their water bowls by washing their bowl with soap and water, soak their bowls in F10 (I let it sit for 10+ minutes) then wash out a couple of times and then put back in tub. I hope this helps.

    Apparently there's a production shortage on F10, and has been for several months now. I'm very glad that I've got enough on hand to last me awhile over here.

    I've heard of a few members having it shipped from the UK, but I can only imagine how much shipping charges were.

    Oh wow, I guess I'm lucky that I saw it at my local exotics shop. I'll pick up a bunch in that case, thanks !

    I recently went down to my local reptile shop and they hade a quite few litre bottles of it, and this is a bog standard family run reptile shop. Safe to say that it is quite available over here in the UK, but like you said, shipping won't be cheap.
