F 10 should be used once a month unless the dragon has parasites to sanitize the tank -- then it is recommended that you remove the dragon and spray the tank / decor let sit for 10 minutes - I have a 3.4 oz bottle there is a measuring dispenser on the bottle I have https://www.amazon.com/F10SC-Veteri...9Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU=So I have a confession to make. So far the only cleaning I've done in Beebz enclosure is using a damp paper towel to remove feces and wipe up any residue.
I had seen recommendations to use a water/vinegar mix but as vinegar evaporates into VOCs in the form of acetic acid I never felt comfortable using it.
I've also seen recommendations for F10 but am unsure how exactly it's used.
So how, and how often so you guys sanitize your enclosures? Do you use F10 every time you clean feces? Do you remove your dragon when you do this? Do you ever do a full wipedown of all surfaces, including those that are unsoiled? What is your protocol for that?
Oh and if using F10 what dilution is used? It looks like it ought to be either 2ml or 4ml per liter correct?
That's something I hadn't seen before. After doing a quick Google scani came across this:I use chlorhexidine, you can get it at tractor suppy in the horse section. It is a vet and zoo grade disinfectant. You can mix as light as 10:1 i mix a little stronger. It's safe enoght to use as mouth wash and vets pure it straight into wounds so fairly safe. I use it to clean up every poop. I got the spray bottle in the horse section also. It's 20 buck a gallon so will last a year or more.
Low concentration oral forms of chlorhexidine do not typically pose a problem when unintentionally swallowed. However, even when using chlorhexidine mouthwashes or toothpastes as directed, an aftertaste or change in taste sensation might be noticed and can last for several hours. Chlorhexidine is not well absorbed when swallowed, and some stomach irritation or nausea is typically all that will occur after ingestion of small amounts. However, serious adverse effects can occur when larger amounts of chlorhexidine are swallowed.
I use this all the time and have never smelled any fumes at all --- I stuck my head in the tank to make sure you couldnt smell anything -- been using this for yearsI was reading data sheet, it looks like it's a form of ammonia, i would recommend making sure there is no fumes after use.
Yeah and it looks like the one you linked doesn't contain any ammonia. It's only the "ready to use" which does.I use this all the time and have never smelled any fumes at all --- I stuck my head in the tank to make sure you couldnt smell anything -- been using this for years
Yeah the RTU is the one that has it. I guess I'll be mixing the SC in it's own bottle.Interestingly one pdf list the ammonium as an ingredient the other doesn't.
