Hi guys just picked up a second hand viv from a charity shop not really sure whats been kept in it before its only 2ftx1x1 but thought itd be ideal to house Eve for a while (and in future will be handy as a hatching nursery lol).
I was wondering whats safe/snake friendly to use to clean/disinfect it though im sure i read on here somewhere that some people use baby based cleaning agents sterilising fluids etc ?

I use f10. You can buy the concentrate really cheaply on the Surrey pet supplies website and the one bottle will last you for months. A 200ml bottle easily lasts me over 6mths and that's with using it to clean 6 manky hedgehog wheels every day, as well as all the other animals. You just need to fill a plant spray bottle with water and then add a ml or 2 of the f10. It's great stuff and completely animal safe.

f-10 off ebay is only about £10 for 100ml and thats concentrate for normal cleaning 2ml to 1 litre of water so it will last a while. first clean you should use about 8ml to 1 litre of water as you dont know whats been in there and what germs/virusus the animal may have had, but alot of ppl here will agree f10 is the way to go.
