My wife just came home from the vet and told me our dragons have worms. She started cleaning the terrarium with bleach. Isn't bleach harmful to dragons? Well it's too late now so all we can do is really clean it out well to get the bleach smell out. Any suggestions? Also how do we prevent them from getting worms in the future? They are 2 years old. Thanks in advance.

what are you feeding your dragon and where do you get it from?
I've heard of some cactus actually being a natural dewormer. you can also try this stuff called Parazap www.parazap.com

YES!! Bleach is fatal! Just think of yourself being in a very very small room and inhaleing bleach fumes!
When you use bleach to clean and disinfect oyu never use full strength. Always dilute it and make sure that you rinse really really good and then let it air dry completely before sticking your dragons back in there.
