i use f10 for cleaning out the vivs.
i scrub with f10 then rinse twice with water so the smell goes.
just wondering even though its a rep safe cleaner would the fumes/smell or the snake having direct contact with the fluid have any bad effects on said snake? |

I use weakest solution for spot cleaning after mess and dirty aspen has been taken out, but I don't rinse - had always assumed it was safe. Would rinse after stronger solutions though.
However, I believe you can use a solution of F10 in a nebuliser for a snake with RI so I'm assuming that the stuff is pretty benign - however would be interested to know more. |

| Ah right - I have some F10 that gives directions on how to make a solution; also some super concentrate. |

| I use protect vivarium cleaner. It smells solvent based and therefore toxic, so I always make sure I clean it off well with water. I don't think F10 will toxic, but I think it could do some irritation or harm if ingested. I know its also used as a hand cleaner, and most soaps contain sodium hydroxide which is caustic. Does it give the contents on the bottle? Personally I would make sure its well washed away before putting a snake back in the viv. Better safe than sorry.... |

| The fumes wouldn't be harmful, its specifically designed for use with animals. Rinsing and allowing to dry would be enough to render it 100% safe I'm almost certain of that. |

I use reptile cleaner from pets at home, it works a real treat, Put the disinfectant on the viv/rub wait 10-15 minutes and wipe down with paper towels. Hardly any smell at all :) costs about £5. Money well spent to be honest
