Hey guys my Amber has np holding her poop till I take her out (she refuses to poop in her enclosure). But my Chubbs well that's another thing she has a knack for pooping in her enclosure when I'm not home 🙄. I have a zen habitat enclosure with a custom mat for a liner rather than sand.

The mat itself is stained here and there I can normally just scrub it with some soap and it cleans right up.

What's the best reptile safe disinfectant wipes that I can use to sanitize things without harsh chemicals? I seen a couple but not sure how safe it is for them so I'm extremely cautious with what I use

F10 is good found on ebay -- it's a vet concentrate

I have used it before the only problem is it's super super expensive but that is one of the ones I was thinking about.

F10SC Veterinary Disinfectant (100ml) by F10 SC Amazon.com

The super concentrate is pretty expensive, but lasts for a very long time (My 100ml bottle has lasted several years). Rescue is another decent option for disinfecting. I tend to spray vinegar to help loosen stuck bits and clean surfaces before disinfecting. A big bottle of white vinegar is typically pretty cheap.

I use a vinegar/water solution for the "smell" generally I'm there when it happens so I can clean it quickly. I'll have to get the F10 premade and use it to disinfect everything I'm honestly at this point not worried about stains long as it's disinfected

I use f10sc
1:250 for disinfectant
1:500 for general maintenance

I also spot clean

If you use concentrated, it lasts a long time.
Just put it in glass jars. For some reason my f10 bottles would be eaten through by the chemicals with 3-5 years

Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
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 💔
