    Default what do you use to disinfect?

    its coming time to disinfect my pyxies entire tank and when I was by pet smart I stopped in there and got a few things that I don't mind buying from there.. let me say iv never liked this pet smart, there employees are pretty sure they know everything and ive seen a few poorly shaped animals there...but I asked them what they have for disinfecting that would be safe for reptiles (snakes/frogs) and they said they have nothing to disinfect terrariums.. I don't know if that's normal but they also don't carry any thermostats or dimmers at this pet store. Im sure they spray and rinse there cages with something.. I hope. What do you guys use to disinfect and what are any good options to clean safely? Thanks

    If your Pixie is healthy and you are just doing it's monthly cleaning before returning frog to same tank; there is no need to "disinfect" the enclosure. You can use hot water (wear gloves) to clean enclosure out.

    Also, if your water is hard and there are water spots from misting, a sponge soaked in vinegar can be used to clean glass and then rinse after 10 minutes or so. For peace of mind, can also use a product by ZooMed called Wipe Out and rinse the enclosure well after application. Good luck !
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​
