I spot check daily, change the water daily and every month I remove the old aspen substrate and use Miltons in warm water to wash the viv out with.

Thanks Remmy We'll give it a go!

Same as above, spot clean daily and a good thorough clean every 3 - 4 weeks.

It is supposed to be safe but i always rinse the water bowl with water after to be sure.

Arrrgh! dont use dettol,it contains something that is toxic,cant remember what it is but will be back to let you know.Stick to using specialist reptile cleaner like bephar



OMG - didn't know that - I'll stop using immediately. I've always really watered it down and so far there doesn't seem to have been any ill effects but don't want to risk it. Is Savlon the same?
