Well I decided to re-do this guide;
One - I was bored.
two - the old one, was, well, not the best.. 
So, here we go, before you clean out your vivarium, there are several things you need before you clean out your snake;
1) a vivarium not been cleaned for a month;
2) Some rather usefull tools that will make, for me, cleaning out usefull!
3)Don't forget to stay your snake away safely; I use a zip up cushion cover
Cleaning the vivarium
4)firstly; remove the decor 
5)Get out somewhere with a load of space you dont mind getting dirty..
6)Then, I tip the contents of my vivarium into a bin sack
7)Hoover out some of the stuborn bits of substrate
8)Squirt the viv down with the special disinfectant, then wipe down. Repeat, with warm water
9)Dry with kitchen towel;
10)Refil the substrate;
One clean vivarium!
Cleaning the decor!
11)Give your decor a good squirt and wipe with the disinfectant in every nook and cranny, and rinse in warm water.
12)After a swish and rinse, I use this to dry the bits and bobs
13)Place decor, and snake back in and you have a clean viv for another month!
Feel free to resize please, hope this helps!

Just kidding. A good guide for the newbie's! Show 'em how to do it properly! |

| Quick question, if you couldnt use these disinfectants because you may be allergic to them what else could you use? I heard that you could use baby steriling tablets to clean the vivs out with but not sure. Thanks for any responses. |
