For when I'm doing the big clean. Do you always use a reptile disinfectant? Or is there something more everyday that works just as well?
And also, I'm finding my vivs are getting rather warm down the cool end. Is they are at 29 at warm end cool end seems to be about 22. Is that ok or is there anyway of cooling that end slightly? They are 3 ft vivs.
Thanks in advance  |

thats why ive recently switched to F10 to be honest. Its just fool proof (well as much as it can be) plus, and i know this sounds really silly, but the quality of the F10 spray bottles is amazing! great for keeping as viv misting sprays! |

To avoid a mistake in diluting anything or doing something the snakes fdon't like I use Beaphar, Deep Clean. Its a bit expensive at £4.99 a bottle but it lasts a long time (bought in September, used 1/4 of the bottle) and is specifically made for deep cleaning vivariums, and also water bowls which I disinfect weekly. While I'm still learning the ropes I'll be going with stuff I know won't harm my snakes, and for the sake of a fiver I'd rather have that peace of mind. |

i just started using F10 spray but apparently (according to my vet) miltons fluid or HEVILY diluted dettol work well. not sure about dettol tho cause that stuff STINKS! just to echo everyone else, your temps are fine :) |

I use to use hot, fairy liquid mix but since I have gotten more snake, takes longer to clean and the water ends up going cold! I'm using Cascade cleaning Disinfectant that is for reptiles. I also have a spare Keep it Clean with lemon somewhere that can be used for reptiles any any pets. |

I use F10 reptile stuff but only because I got some given to me! Normally I'd use Milton or similar. Temps are ok.  |

I always use a baby bottle sterilising fluid/hot water mix. The way I see it if it can kill bacteria and be safe for a baby then it is safe for the snakes. |
