Re: Ok i need help.Urgent

If she died of a virus, there is no cleaning solution that will kill its residue. Some viruses can live for up to a year on a sterile surface.

So it's upto you if you take the risk of placing a healthy snake in there.. Personally I wouldn't, but that's just my opinion.

What virus can't be killed with any type of cleaning solution?

If I boiled the mulch would it kill a virus?

Dude, just buy more. It's not a big deal. And I'm pretty sure you can't boil mulch.

The cause of IBD isnt proven yet, so you cant say its a virus or that it cant be killed by a chemical agent. There is some evidence its a arenavirus, but only conjecturally at this point. What is known about it is that it requires exposure to the bodily fluids of an infected animal. It doesnt just hang out on sterile surfaces. As Randy said, viruses are normally pretty easy to kill outside of a host cell. Bleach will do nicely for your enclosure. As recommended by everyone else, mulch is cheap; ditch the old stuff and get new stuff. It costs less than $10 for a big bag of it.
