Hi,
I have bought 2 baby corns and they are settling into their faunarium fine. A friend has given me some jungle vine, rocks and plastic plants that he no longer uses for his snakes. I am just wondering if they are ok to go into the faunarium and if so how would I clean them to make them safe for my babies.
Thanks guys.

An overnight soak in a 10% bleach solution should do the trick.

If they are living together I would also suggest you have a read of this thread-

Yep over night soaking should do the job. My hatchling has those in her faun - plastic leafy vines, rocks, loo roll tubes fixed to the lid of the faun with cable ties and while I have yet to see her out much I am sure at night when the coast is clear she moves freely round all of her faun.

Thanks for the advice, is it just normal household bleach or something specific? Cheers
