Cleaning after YF

Whats the proper way to clean a terrarium whose previous occupant had yellow fungus? I want to put my guy in the cage but don't want him to get sick. So far I've soaked it in vinegar along with the things inside the cage. Is that enough?

Vinegar won't be enough for this one. That's OK for spot cleaning stuck pieces but for disinfecting, I suggest using a steam cleaner to go over everything VERY thoroughly, or to clean everything with some F10SC disinfectant.

I don't have a steam cleaner or anyone to borrow one from. For the F10SC can I find that in pet stores or will I have to buy offline? And is bleach not enough either? After of course making sure it's well washed out.

The F10SC is available online. A local vet may have some as well. You can also use bleach if you'd like but I would dilute it and make sure everything is thoroughly rinsed because that stuff is pretty harsh.

Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.
