Hi everyone,

I had a deal go sour earlier this year, and received a sick white-lipped python. The animal had a severe RI and had mites. I got the mites cleared up soon with Provent-a-Mite, but even after a month of antibiotics from my vet, the animal would not eat or drink, and the RI improved only minimally before he passed away. I finally lost him on May 25.

I have had the cage empty since then, but I would like to use it soon to house a new critter. What will I need to do in order to get the cage safe again and ready for use? I'm concerned about transmitting potential disease to anything else that lives in the cage in the future.

Thanks for any info!
