Re: cleaning cork?

Why clean it?

BP poop is like the easiest to pick up, and I have never heard of them pooping on their hides.

Just wipe them down from time to time.

Because it was a big piece that was used in a boas cage in a pet store.

Weight it down in the bath in some bleach water then rinse it thoroughly a few times.

Why would you knowingly use a piece of wood that had come in contact with who-knows how many other animals? How could you possibly think that was a good idea?
