what disinfectant kills yellow fungus?

[jcorey1]

I just unfortunately had to put my bearded dragon to sleep due to a 4 year battle with yellow fungus . I am disinfecting EVERYTHING and tossing what was in her enclosure..the only thing I have on hand is bleach, I'm just curious if that will kill the possible left behind yellow fungus spores? Does anybody know what will kill/properly disinfect yellow fungus from a glass terrarium. Thanks in advance.

Bleach kills everything. Nothing is known to be able to survive concentrated bleach. I wouldn't recommend dowsing everything in undiluted bleach, but a small dilution soak would probably be able to take care of the fungus.

Bleach doesn't kill Coccidia however, only Ammonia will clean Coccidia.. but don't ever mix bleach and ammonia together!!! EVER!

I wonder if a fungicide made for gardening would work in a glass tank? It would be worth a try and you could wash the residue out with straight vinegar then let dry in the really hot sun for a couple days.

Huh I didn't know that. Any reason why (that bleach doesn't kill coccidia)?
