...it were me, and I had a mite infestation on a spider, or beetle, centipede, scorpion etc., I would mostly likely toss the enclosure entirely, bleach the room, setup the animal In a very simplistic setup (no soil) in a dark room far removed from thevoriginal room (ideally a different...
You assume a lot of things incorrectly and whether or not you’re a man, woman, or nonbinary, you’re mansplaining peroxide. Please get off of my thread now.
Well aggression is subjective apparently and it was to me. In appreciate positive advice and considerate exchanges - not keyboard...
..., scented shampoos, deoderants, or body sprays, perfumes/colognes, cosmetic makeups, are fresheners like fabreeze, and cleaning agents like bleach, pinesol or lysol. These things cause me severe breathing problems even at a distance, for quite some time after the source has gone.
So I was...
...is a very effective cleaning agent for organic matter. It works so well that it can negate cat pee, which is way worse than dog urine. It will bleach your skin so wear gloves but it breaks down into water. To be most safe, waiting until it's dry is best but it degrades very quickly when...
Bleach can kill tarantulas, so don't go that route!
Just leave it to air out for a while. Scrubbing it down probably won't help a ton if the smell has permeated the wood, and then you'll have soggy cork bark that needs to dry out. Your tarantula won't be hurt or bothered by reptile smell, so...
...I purchased some spider wood too. It also smells. Everything smells. Even the fake bird skull I purchased smells. I have it outside right now. I live in Ohio so there is no chance of bugs getting it right now because it is too cold. I was thinking perhaps a dilute bleach bath may help?
...I do to successfully control the mite infestation. I'm maintaining the area by mopping the floor and I wash down the O.beetle adults with 10% bleach and brushed them with a tooth brush to get into small crevices. I also installed a shoe cleaning station at the entrance to help minimize...
...be them plants or animals, goes through the same routine...
-Boiling water/vinegar/boiling water, we'll say "week one"
-Boiling water/bleach/boiling water, "week two"
-Boiling water/iodine/boiling water "week three"
I don't use the same agent twice in a row, & I avoid things that can...
Anything bleach whether straight or mixed will kill your T's.
Best practice is what @viper69 said with any type of cleaners.
Kitchen counter?, that's a new one. If any are NW's with UrS not the best place for them, UrS + food = no thanks.
Invest in a shelving unit to keep your T's on or a table.
...that some synthetics are safer than their natural counterparts.
The scent issue is a tough one because apart from a few specific things like bleach and cedar oil, we don't know exactly which fumes are toxic, in what forms they're toxic (incense, spray, diffuser, candle, etc.), in which...
Yes candles are harmful.
I have been okay using swiffer wet jet for the floors. I do use bleach and other cleaners for the bathroom but I keep the door shut and the window open until it airs out.
...sheets I said I don’t need to have my bathroom cleaned because I don’t want the chemicals the front desk guy said don’t worry they don’t use bleach and I hid them all in the drawers and my jumpers behind a box just in case. I really hope they don’t open my drawers! I asked them to come in on...
honestly no i don’t use air fresheners or chemicals in my room. only time chemicals are used are downstairs but it’s been the same routine for like a year and nothing like this happened. only thing i’ve noticed was after it molted it stood weirdly. i checked for mold & everything and it’s water...
Like the others said, it could be multiple reasons.
* Dehydration. Give them fresh, clean water
* Scented candles, incenses, perfumes, hairspray
* Cleaning products, bleach, paint fumes, etc
* DKS
* Pesticides from the feeders, but you said the other ones are fine so maybe rule this one out
...to a light blue Gatorade color. I also sanitize in a separate room. Appreciate the input:)
It was for surfaces. The wipes not actually bleach. Or I use chlorhexidine diluted
No lol my snakes aren't dirty 🤣. It was just a question with thoughts thrown in. Ie. The bleach. I was just asking in...
Why is bleach needed for reptiles are they extremely dirty ? More details would be helpful
I’ll ask the op about the reptile my bad . I don’t keep them either ..
You are replying to the wrong person to ask a question about using bleach for reptiles. I have never cared for a reptile in my life, but then again the original post doesn't mention what kind of reptile(s) are of question so it is impossible to say if the ones the original poster has are...
Why is bleach needed for reptiles are they extremely dirty ? I’ve never needed anything but occasional dish soap for Ts.
The bleach fumes shouldn’t be good for anything to breathe in .
Both would be nice and the beach was just an example. For actual sterilization I use chlorhexidine for the reptiles. A tad stronger then recommended with extra rinsing. But is that safe around spiders
Hot water doesn't kill bacteria though
Can you imagine if I had to tell my gf the Goliath got...
