Is this safe to use?
I purchase a chlorhexidine gluconate %2 product from shoppersdrug mart called Rougier-Vap. It is a disinfectant and is used for acne. The main ingredients for this product is %4 Isopropyl alcohol, FD&C red #40 and purified water. Is this safe to use to clean my enclosures? Do i have to dilute the solution? Thanks in advanced for the help!

Re: Is this safe to use?
Id stay away form any mixture or version the type I by is a 2% but only contains Chlorhexidine.
You might check with your local farm or tractor supply. Any place that the farmers and cattlemen got to get supplys I can garentee they will carry it

Are the dye and alcohol dangerous? I heard of people using isopropyl for disinfecting before, and I havent heard of anything bad comming from red dye yet. Do you think these will hurt my buddies?

Unless someone on here who knows a lot about chemicals and disinfectants comments then it may be safer just to use something that you know is safe for your snake.
Maybe just disinfect with a bleach/water solution until you get a definite answer here.
