I don't recommend baking after bleaching, I am not sure but I beleive bleach that is heated up can release noxious and potentially poisonous fumes which won't be good for you to inhale. Best thing to do after you soak in the bleach solution is rinse well several times in cold water. Then air dry for at least 24 hours in a well ventilated area (outside is best). If you can still smell bleach on it, then it needs to be rinsed more and allowed to air dry for alot longer. After that it will be safe for your dragon's tank.
It's the chlorine in bleach that is deadly, but it evaporates in a gaseous form pretty quickly, so air drying is the best way to get rid of it. I don't think the remaining residue, if any, is of any harm (unless the bleach is mixed with something else, though normally it isn't (water is fine though). Deffinitely don't use any other cleaners on the object while bleach is still in or on it, bleech can combine with other chemicals to produce even more lethal gases (amoniam (sp?) gas for one).
