    I personally have never (& would never) use F10 or chlorhexidine ON the snake itself, perhaps because I read & take the label precautions seriously, & because like us,
    snakes can absorb things thru their skin; like ours, their bodies depend on "friendly bacteria" to function, and such products do not discriminate, so I remain cautious.

    To me, F10 & chlorhexidine are great to clean cages & implements, but not for use on the snakes themselves. Can you do it & have some gotten away with
    doing this? -those are different questions & one we each have to answer for ourselves, I guess.
    You do realize that Chlorhexidine is an antiseptic solution also used in veterinary medicine to clean wounds? And we are not even talking about wounds here.
