I use Chlorahexadine, I don't know if it's spelled right.....But it is used as a disinfectant and is safe for animals as it is basically a mouth wash. I dilute it and use it to spay down and wash cages, and my partner uses it all the time with ball pythons.

its the same stuff, Nolvasan is the generic name for it. where can i buy it?

try the Bean Farm (they're online) and I think LLL Reptile carries it too.

We got ours from the Bean Farm, I believe it was $30 for a gallon. But the cheapest place I think is www.agri-med.com, and a gallon of 2%there is $20 the link is http://www.agri-med.com/site/255063/product/CHLOR2-1gal

checked out agri-meds. is there any difference between nolvasan and chlohexidine? any big difference that one is 40 bucks and the other is like 17 bucks???

My understanding is that Nolvasan is a a glutahexidine diacetate and is a viriside and a bactricide were is and chlohexidine glucanate is just a bactricide. That my guess why Nolvasan is more expensive.

We just use the Chloahexidine as it is adequate to our needs. When changing cages of suspected ill animals we use a 5% bleach solution but for everyday cleaning and maintaince the Chlorahexide works great, and I like the smell...LOL. Oh I probably spelled half of the words wrong...sorry!

thanks for the info. all im lookin for is a good sterile cage cleaner. thanks again
