For years i have always used a bleach water solution to disinfect my cages which up until recently have been tubs. It worked fine and tubs are easy to completely rinse. I now have a boa in a 4' vision cage who urates a lot. I use newspaper as a substrate and am not interested in switching to something more absorbent out of convenience. (i use aspen with my colubrids and change the bedding frequently). So ive been researching alternatives. i came across Chlorhexadine. Does anyone use it? any tips about the stuff? whats an easy spray and wipe disinfectant that is 100% safe. Also as this is my first snake that tends to lay in his waste what is a good safe way to disinfect a snake?
