Pre Owned Beardie Tank

[youngkale]

I recently bought a 50 Gallon terrarium for my beardie from a friend. They used it for a bearded dragon before, and gave me all the things they used for their pet. I am wondering what I should use to clean the tank out and all the items so that they don’t smell like another beardie (my dragon is a male). I have heard of using distilled white vinegar, wondering if this is effective? I didn’t think you could use any type of chemical cleaner because they’re toxic to beardies. Any tips?

Vinegar mixed with water (half and half) should do the trick. Wipe it down thoroughly.

F10 is another good cleaner.

So I picked up F10 SC Veterinary Disinfectant so I could do a full clean of my dragons tank, but this stuff sounds terrifying? "If on skin, take off contaminated clothing. Rise skin immediately with water for 15-20 minutes. Call a poison control center or doctor for advice." How do I use...

Here is a thread discussing how to use it.

Whatever you use, be sure to rinse it very well. Even vinegar can leave a strong, unpleasant odor .

F 10 can be found on Walmarts website --- it is spendy but a good disinfectant along w/ Rescue or Zoo Meds Wipe Out
