Not trying to be too picky here, but bleach is good........ if used properly. Bleaching containers is an industry standard for many herp and aquariums in zoo collections. Even amphibian containers get bleached often. I'll add to that by saying that the containers are also soaked in dechlorinator, and air dried. Of course porous items such as branches should be dealt with more carefully. But for most glass and plastic containers, using the APPROPRIATE amount of bleach and carefully rinsing and drying will cause no ill effect. ----- Virginia Herping
