    The "bowl" is made of some sort of plastic or resin, which can & will retain the bleach smell, fumes & toxicity; just as you don't re-use bleach bottles, bleach is a bad idea
    in this case. If it were glass, sure...go ahead & use bleach...but not on plastic. You don't want to harm your snakes.
