Properly cleaning for pinworms

Not open for further replies.
I found out today that Cookie has pinworms. I just got back from picking her meds up from the vet, and now I’m wondering what I can use to disinfect her tank while she’s being treated.

I plan to remove everything from her enclosure and soak all furnishings, and also replace her reptile carpet with paper towels to be changed out daily. Should I use bleach diluted with water for soaking/wiping down? I read somewhere that bleach doesn’t kill pinworms so just hoping for some clarification. I use a Chlorhexadine 2% solution for regular cleanings, but I’m worried it’s not strong enough for pinworms?

What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.

i feel so sad reading your about me 😢
Clapton is acclimating okay I think. He's quick as lightning so I'm not sure how much I should bring him out of his house yet. He's not at all interested in his salad though. I wonder if I should change what I'm giving him. Least he's eating his crickets.

Things to do:
Buy calcium powder
Material to raise surface for basking spot
Scenery decals for back of tank
Taking my beardie for a walk
