Ok yet another daft question, I bought Milton for cleaning out dakota's faun once a month, figured if its safe for babies bottles then it should be fine, anyway her faun came with a hide and a piece of wood bark and am wondering how easy this is to clean should she poop on it? How do you all clean these?

hmmm but bleach isnt sold as reptile safe, but used by many heavily diluted without problems

true it can be used diluted on branches ect but would be hard to rinse a viv enough,

I pick off the poo and then spray with reptile discenfecant and scub. If it needs a bit more of a soak I use warm bubbly water XD

i only use bleach for cleaning stuff, but it needs to be well rinsed. None of the stuff in my snakes tub is porous though, so I don't know if its any good on wood etc although I did have a tree soaking in the bath when I had my iggy :D

As above I use F10 and an old toothbrush to scrub clean.

I think anything that is safe for disaffecting baby bottles is generally safe for snake. I use f10 and anything pooped on I just soak in the stuff and scrub clean

I think a lot of people clean wood and such by soaking it in 5%(?) bleach/water solution, and leaving to sun dry.

I just tend to scrape the poop off and then soak it damn thing in reptile disinfectant haha!

Cant help you on the Milton front, I mean, in theory it should be safe, I used to use it to disinfect my fish nets and my fishies never had any ill effects from it, but it might be different for snakes!
