If you are refering to "other stuff" as in the use of the dawn dish soap and the diluted bleach solution.....and you are saying you do not need these... if you are useing the blue stuff......you are wrong.



You or anyone who does not wish to...does not have to use anything, or you could just use water....the choice is really yours....but do not persuade others away from a good cleaning program.



*******************************



All virus and bacteria are constantly developing and mutating in an effort to become resistant to the cleaning chemicals.



*********************************************************



* There is no substitute for soap and water.



* Diluted Bleach when used properly is very safe and effective against strains of virus and bacteria that Virusan, Chlorohexadine or others may become useless against over time.



I personally have this knowledge from the work I am in, and know these things to be true.



The peroxide methodes I have read about would also work, as I have used a very similar methode at work, but have not used this methode with my snakes....I just do not like the smell.



Just my 2 cents....Andy Federico
