I usually just treat a gallon of water at a time and use it for all my reptiles. It doesn't take long and it keeps me from worrying.
How much treatment do you use for only a gallon? The bottle says 2 tsp (10ml) for every 10 gallons. Is there such a thing as "too much" treatment? I made up about a gallon yesterday to keep on hand at room temp and I just kinda squirted 5ml into the jug. I'd hate to poison my frog by using too much treatment chemical.
