Cleaning and disinfecting/questions
Okay, so what do you guys use to clean and disinfect your snakes enclosures? I usually clean my ball pythons enclosures as needed and completely tear-down and disinfect once a month. Lately I've been using a 10% bleach mixture with water in a spray bottle to disinfect surfaced and place all decor in a tub of water with a dash of bleach. I rinse off everything but I worry about it a little. Yesterday, I rinsed everything I had in the tub and let it air dry. Then cleaning a tank I sprayed the bleach mixture, let it sit, wiped it off and then sprayed down with water and wiped off again. Is this safe? I have left my snake in the tank over night and she seems okay, I have her out right now to check on her. Her tongue is flicking normally and she's acting normal. I just didn't want anything effecting her... Or bleach residue. Let me know your thoughts! Thanks! P.s I let everything dry before placing my snake back into her enclosure.

I heard of people using bleach but f-10 is awesome. I keep a 1 Gallon bug sprayer full makes cleaning very easy.

Related- I've seen some people say using a diluted brown listerine solution is the same as F10? Is this true?

I think I read somewhere that the compounds of pure listerine is okay for cleaning tanks or something.

Dawn dishwashing liquid diluted to 25% with water. That mix gets a additional 5cc of Cavicide or F10sc in a 32 oz container.

I just scrub anything nasty with a brush and hot water and then fill up the tub with a weak bleach solution and soak the hides. I rinse well with uber hot water.

I've used bleach, windex and dawn. I recently started using f10scxd and I love it, I highly recommend it.

I use green soap. Quit using f10 when I couldnt use it fast enough before it expired or I would mix to much and not use it before shelf life expired.
