Re: Hi all

Just an update here on Sterling, my corn snake. His lab fecal tested positive for round worms. He had his first treatment and seems to be responding well. No more bloody poops. I'm so relieved. Thank you for all of your input.
He has since had a nice shed and then I fed him (for the first time in a while as he was refusing when he wasn't feeling well)....so all is good over here.
Quick question....I am keeping him on paper towel with a very simple washable plastic watwe bowl and plastic hide in his enclosure until after his second treatment. I just want to make sure everything is looking good and I can continue to disinfect his habitat well. I have removed the two logs and fake vine from his enclosure and washed them in a diluted bleach / water solution and put them aside. ((Rinsed well, obviously)) Question is.....I know round worm eggs are hardy and will survive on inanimate objects...so would you just throw out the old logs and vine etc and start fresh? I would really rather not do that but I'm keeping them out of his enclosure for now.
