Do NOT use any Dettol products, diluted or otherwise, for use on any snake or reptile equipment. That was the reply I received from Customer Support on a query about using 'food/baby safe surface cleansers'.

Use a 10% diluted plain bleach solution for general disinfecting and cleaning until you can get a reptile safe disinfectant such as F10.

Leave the viv open and allow to dry completely and allow any fumes to disperse for at least 24 hours.

Its fine diluted then just leave it to dry or get the kitchen roll out make sure its good and dry.

just use boiling water as long as its above 83 degrees it as good al bleach at disinfecting. x
