entire enclosure clean out

[Andy_G]

Both f10 and chlorhexidine gluconate concentrates are available in both Canada and the U.S. Both are simply sprayed on and wiped off and inexpensive. One bottle will last you a LONG time. No toxic side effects possible, no rinsing or airing out required (but I would suggest rinsing the water bowl regardless) and it's equally effective as diluted bleach and used by veterinarians.

I am uncertain of what exactly this zoo med stuff you have is or how it's used, but just be sure to read the directions. If no disease is present, a lot of people actually just use hot water and elbow grease to do the cleaning.

As far as cleaning advice, jjhill has offered some great easy tips on how to do it already. No sense in heating whatever holding container you may be using, or wasting paper towel to line it either.

The Nat Geo stuff I've been using says you don't even have to remove your reptiles to use it, I still take my snakes out before using. If yours says something similar still remove your snake or whatever you're using. I was a frog guy first and anything that says something like that is usually full of crap.
