...you, however, are not in danger as long as you don't eat any. to get rid of eggs spray the tank with hot water and then use a very light bleach solution followed by an extremely thorough washing and additional rinse with dechlorinated water. what did you use for substrate? nematodes...

It doesn't bleach. The oxidizer, chlorine, escapes as a gas before the chemical reaction can take place. People dislike it as a black mold killer for this reason. It leaves the black stain though the dead spores slowly turn dark brown through natural oxidation from the air. And of course, using...

...keeping far more spiders, I only did them once every other year or so. I had a large collection, so I usually had a backup enclosure ready. I bleach-sterilized all of my tanks between rehousing, but dish soap should be fine so long as you rinse really well. I'd recommend bleach sterilizing...

Just got 2 snakes from a show who were only 15 dollars...found it odd. Also found it odd he had them on straw. They are infested and have RIs how many times should I do this treatment for mites?

For the future, I think I'm going to minimize sharing husbandry tools for the most part anyways. I don't have a large collection of reptiles and amphibians, so we can afford to have tweezers and other tools for each animal.

Excellent. I'm glad you were thoughtful enough to realize the possibilities. Just for future reference a simple bleach solution is adequate for disinfecting husbandry tools. 1 part bleach to 9 parts water will do the trick.

Wild aphonopelma slings Found these a while ago in South texas

If you rinsed thoroughly with non-bleach water, you'll be all set :)

It precipitates into chloride salts. Think sea foam residue at the beach. Mildly noxious but not particularly toxic or hazardous.

...water in the enclosure to kind of kill everything, then did as instructed: rinse, repeat, rinse, etc. Now I'm letting it dry. Will the little bleach in the water evaporate with the water when its drying? Just want to be safe so when I go to refill it there isn't any to kill my spider or...

Thank you

It's simply 10 equal parts water to one of bleach. For a small job like one tank, that could be 10 quarter cups (or 2.5 cups) water, to 1 quarter cup of bleach (or 600ml water to 60ml bleach, if that's more your metric)...

Also, hiw would I go about making the bleach water ratio. I'm not gonna lie but I suck at ratios and understanding them. Would it be lile for every 9 cups of water it would be 1 cup of bleach? Or something different?

Thank you for the help! Gotta a busy day today. I've had the tank for several months now, i just recently added my jumper 2 weeks ago after molting. I can't think of the soil's brand name but its one my local shop sells and I've never had it had a problem with it in my other tanks. I think it...

...anything out of that, even the plants. Then blast the enclosure with HOT water, getting all the debris out. Then go through with hot water & bleach at a 10:1 ratio. Rinse, repeat, rinse, & rinse again, then let it dry thoroughly, preferably in the sun. A few questions, though...how old is...

I think it would be worth it. You can probably also use hydrogen peroxide instead of bleach

...unsightly waterline rings, & I've yet to see anyone successfully remove those, or the cloudiness of the glass in general. A 1:10 ratio of bleach & water would kill just about any pathogen remaining. Rinse THOROUGHLY with HOT water, & let it dry completely... ....& fill that tank with...

This is the best don’t know specifics- but I’ve always used bleach

Simplified. Chlorine bleach, not good. H2O2 better. They both destroy through the violent release of oxygen. Complexified. Chlorine bleach is not wet. Many species of mites can walk on droplets without getting wet. It is also only a marginal sterilizing agent due to it's molecular nature. 10%...

...and collecting around his water dish. I have never had this issue with him and he’s about 3 years old so I was reading about treatments and bleach is what I’ve come across the most. I have cleaned my fish tank filters with hydrogen peroxide to get rid of parasites in the past and am wondering...
