[Sanitiser]

Hi there.
I have just purchased a reptilepne glass enclosure second hand and after buying it found out a bearded dragon died in it that was five years old with no symptoms other than stopped eating .

The seller told me it was old age ? .
I am wondering can I scrub the tank with f40 sc and reuse it to home an anrerasia.
I have stripped it and scribbed it with f40
A few tiles over
I plan to leave in sun for a few days. .

Would this be enough to keep my snakes disease free .
Thanks for anyy reply.

5 years is old age... maybe in the wild. more likely it died from poor husbandry.

yes, just make sure to have as minimal dilution as possible, throw out any of the furnishings.

Only problem with the sun is it kills silicone mate so I would just heavily f10 leave the f10 on for at least 15min as this is the time it takes to be affective you can then wash down I would go again for another interval don’t be scared to spray and flood the seems and after an hour or so flush
unless furniture is plastic or porcelain then rubbish it mate not worth the risk
make sure and remove any sludge stuck dirt material of glass you can use a flat Stanley blade mind your fingers and be careful not to puncture or damage the silicone or scratch glass use f10 as lubricant go steady other than that after your finished wait a day or two and after it’s dry have a look about with a torch magnifying glass if you have one for any sign of anything alive mites can hide within edges of old silicone but it’s very unlikely if you find mites hit it with a snake mite spray MAC mite spray is good follow instructions and you have covered all the bases
