Thank you all for your replies.
I shall keep to the hot water routine to keep on the safe side.
Thanks @Alexio for the wipes idea also. Just came up when looking for substrate and wondered if it was better than the hot water. His enclosure it kept clean etc so probably no need. Just thought...
I've used hot water to clean but was not sure if that was good enough to keep the table, hide, slates all good from bacteria etc. So really just to keep with Hot water no spray stuff?
I think I have posted in the correct section. So there are plenty of products out there for reptiles. I am looking at a disinfectant spray for his tortoise table. Seem afew but before making a purchase does anyone recommend any? Just want a tortoise safe disinfectant.
Any ideas or experiences...
Hi. I wouldn't trust the top soils in these shops. I asked a similar question and was was suggested coco coir if you are looking for a soil texture & grade. I got the fine coco coir. My tort loves it. Would recommend you look into that.
Merry Christmas from myself & Norbert.
He had his stocking hanging & Santa came and delivered some leaf greens & a cuttlefish bone.
Hope everyone has a good one!
This is my setup at the moment @Popcorns17 - This is for my Russian tort. - I even took a picture of the 'Torts' eyeview! haha!
Unfortunately my tort was not in the enclosure at the time as he was having his soak.
I built up the substrate to make a 'hill' over his hide. He loves it at the moment.

I use this one. Like other comments I would remove what looks like the wood shavings get a basking/uv bulb and for the water get a shallow clay dish so it's easy for them to get in & out if they want too. What diet is your tort on?
