When you bring in things from outside, like a rock, or a stick, or plants even, what is the best way to sterilize them before you put it in a T's (or anyones) cage?
hmmm i suppose that means nothing at all. actually the vivarium isnt necessary...When I want to add stuff to the vivarium, I always ask myself if its necessary.
hmm I dont think thats a true statement. At least if by blind you mean sightless. Jumping spiders have excellent sight, and others do too. Also even the ones that dont use sight so mch still are not blind, taranutlas arent. They dont see real well but they arent blind... well i guess some may be blind, but some humans are too. Then again many sighted humans are blind... but thats a differant subject lolMost spiders are blind and they wont really enjoy complicated enclosures.
yup, that works fine:clap:as has been said..i use the oven and or freezing.
I am not confident of this.. That majority of pathogens can most likely survive the temps your freezer can put them at. Heat is a much better method of sterilization.I go the freezer route; I am a former oven'r but found it to be a pain. Just put what you want in the freezer, and 48 hours later it should be sterile.
i am assuming you mean a 10% solution of household bleach and water. 10% bleach is what i buy for sanitization at the water treatment plant and if you soaked it in that ...whooo buddy... its about 2x as strong as chlorox lolHowever, I have used rocks for scorp enclosures. I soak them in a 10% bleach solution
12 oz of household bleach in 1 gallon of water. Thats teh standard mix we use to sterilize cage furniture and cages at the zoo.i am assuming you mean a 10% solution of household bleach and water. 10% bleach is what i buy for sanitization at the water treatment plant and if you soaked it in that ...whooo buddy... its about 2x as strong as chlorox lol
Its good. I use peat moss instead. You can buy a huge bail for the cost of a brick of eco earth.How you guys feel about eco-earth? Good? yes? no? I like it, and plan to use it in my new enclosers.
I have never been able to find peat moss anywhere.Its good. I use peat moss instead. You can buy a huge bail for the cost of a brick of eco earth.
