Sterilizing?

[Avkidd1980]

what would one consider a safe sterilizing cleanser for your encloser/ non-live plants? Vinegar/water solution? I have a male veiled Cham under a year old going through a shed so I have been misting him more then normal and will need to do this soon.

There is no reason to sterilize his cage.

Water with chlorine solution
It becomes inert after drying for some hours

I wait 24

I like to use zoo med wipe out to clean my cages and there is also Natural Chemistry Reptile Cage Cleaner that I know of they work well. I wouldn't clean cage just because of shed but I like to clean my cage about every two weeks.

Is he in a screen enclosure? I'm just curious why you feel sterilizing his enclosure is needed. Are you seeing growth of some kind?

Well not only because of that.... It has probably been over two weeks. I clean the poop and vac the bottom pretty regularly but I know it has to take more then that. Thanks for the advice. They say a normal shed takes about a week or a little over. His head still has its shed so I'm trying to help it along as best i can with a lot of misting. He hates to be misted.... It really chaps his scales....just shy of giving my the angry side eye glance. Lol

Hey jpowell! You helped me a couple days ago. Yes... Glass cage.... His screen cage is not ready yet. Our neighbor is not finished building it. : ) just trying to keep this one as tidy as possible until the other one is complete.
