[QUOTE="xp29, post: 2012052, member: 114539"] Coccidia is extremely hard to kill, and part of its life cycle is to be pooped out and reingested. Most cleaners will not kill it including bleach. Ammonia will but it has drawbacks, 1 it's toxic, 2 it has to be in contact with the Coccidia for 10 to 15 minutes to kill it. Beardies have a more simple respotory system than us so if you use ammonia you have to air it out till zero fumes. High heat will kill it also (200ish) degrees, a steam wand can work but like ammonia it has to be in contact for a few minutes to kill it. Once you get the habitat sanitized use Karrieree's recommendations to keep it clean. ( the trick is to get the poop up before it comes in contact with anything else, remember Coccidia has to be reingested). So if you use a good disinfectant you basicly wipe it away before it can cause harm. Chlorhexidine can also be used, you can get it at tractor suppy in the horse section. It is a vet and zoo grade disinfectant also. I mix it 10:1 but it can be mixed stronger. [/QUOTE]
