My wife came up with this idea while we were doing a fecal test on our beardie Draper.
While we were looking at the coccidia under the microscope, the slide got to be about 30 minutes old and all of the coccidia eggs were gone. We learned from beautifuldragons.com that the fecal float solution is mainly sodium, which sucks all of the moisture out of the eggs and makes them implode!
Would a super saturated salt water solution kill coccida oocysts? I know some people make their own fecal float solution using epsom salts....wonder if that would work.
We've been cleaning our viv using ammonia....but breathing that stuff is not good for your or the dragon.
