Hi I was just wondering what you all use to disinfect vivs/rubs and water bowls etc. ? Is using a surgical spirit solution okay? or will that harm the snake in any way?

Thanks :)

i tend to do a 2-8 weekly clean depending on the individual snake - some are cleaner than others!
the adult corns i mainly spot-clean, the juvie corns are all messier and the boa, boy do you know about it if she's pee'd!
didn't have to my royal too often though, every 6 weeks ish?
