Ok, I know the viv needs cleaning every so often, but what do you guys use for a total clean out and how often do you use it. I mean do I need to buy the reptile disinfectant stuff or can I just make my own up or use some kind or antibacterial cleaner or whatever?
Thank you as always. :)

Awh thank you Tiff you will have me blushing.
I wouldn't say I'm amazing I'm just offering you an item I've bought and not used and some disinfectant to get you started and to see what you think of that particular disinfectant.
I've had people help me in the past, so I like to help other people if I am able to.
Btw I'm going to put the Vetaclean in a small watertight bottle plus with give you the instructions of how to use it and will send it with the water dish.  |

I use something with birds on the front...just used to disinfect bird cages, so it's fine for snakes
I read somewhere that any disinfectant that you use for babies bottles is okay to use, as long as you swill it off properly afterwards, but i dont even know what baby bottles are washed in :) lolll so I've never done that |

I've just been reading the instructions and you need to put 10ml of Vetaclean with 3 litres of water. So I'll just look for a small container to put it in to save you sending me something to just return it to you.
I'll keep you posted.  |

Using Antibacterial Fairy is okay for dishes and your hands but it might not be good for your snake so I wouldn't risk it.
I'd send you some of the Vetaclean to try when I send you the water dish but I haven't got a small bottle to send it in. If you can think of anything I could use, I'll send you some to try.
You are such a sweetheart, Ill try to have a look see what Ive got then as long as you are sure you dont mind I can send it for you to send me some. :D Thank you sooo much!

I am with staple to be honest good old soap and water tho i do give the inside of the viv a wipe over with some of the antibacterial gel i use on my hands after i have handled them. I figure if its safe enough on your hands then handle a snake then its safe enough to use in the viv and i never had any problems. |

Well I do, I know some other do too but it's probably/definitely not the most hygienic way of cleaning and getting rid of germs. I've been doing it for 8 years and nothing bad has happened though. I have been looking into getting some rep spray, this kinda stuff http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Cascade-Cleaning-Disinfectant-Reptiles-500ml-Spray-/160410589410?pt=UK_Pet_Supplies_Cats&hash=item25593758e2 as it's just easier to spray and wipe than faff with water XD plus it's cheap where I can buy it. |
