Quarantining exposed items to wait out the lifecycle while there is no host may work. This article says they can live a very long time without a host. 6-8 months. If going that route, to be safe, I would move that equipment into a box in a room away from the reptiles and not use that equipment for a year.

- 2-4% Neopredisan – kills 99% oocysts after 2 hours contact time
- 10% Ox-Virin – reduced oocyst infectivity after 1 hour contact time
- 3% Hydrogen Peroxide – reduced oocyst infectivity after 4 minutes
