Hi there,

I'm going to use white vinegar in my tank to clean & sanitize to get ready for me hatchling. How long should I leave it in there?

Thanks,
Jami

Wipe it down really good, rinse well, and let it dry in the sun. I do this with light bleach water but vinegar is the same and prob safer. Switching my methods as well...

Thanks! I should've just asked you in the plant thread!! I'm putting everything in the sun tomorrow too. I've left the vinegar water in there to really be in there and now I've rinsed a few times with spray bottle. Sun is of course down now, lol. But that's what tomorrow afternoon is for.

I bought a special reptile disinfectant, will definitely be sure to use your method next time, sounds a lot cheaper.

Bet your excited now!

I'm so excited!!! Can't wait. Very nervous tho. Lots of people here say it works and it's been great. Soaked into terra cotta a bit too much so I have to soak it in more water and put it outside. Thanks!
