Rocks in vivs?

[hillzi]

Who uses them? Ideas?

Got some nice pebbles going to put them in a metal tin full of boiling water and bleach, completely submerse them and keep changing the water so it's hot.

Sound a good plan? Using the oven is not an option.

I have a rock in my CRB viv. I just scrubbed it with a bit of warm water and washing up liquid, rinse and put in viv. I have loads of rocks laying around from when I used to keep fish so often changing them around.

Ah okay thanks for that, this one was half buried so i think it will require a bit more omft to clean it.

now to raid the rockery in the garden..

I used slate & rocks in my Gecko's viv....



I soaked them in bleach solution overnight, then rinsed off well several times in plain water, then left them to dry.

I have at least one large rock in all my vivs and tubs to help the snakes when they slough.I live very close to the beach(30 seconds walk)so i just go an collect the size that i need take it home and scrub it clean with bleach.give it a good rinse and then spray with disenfectant and then allow it to dry before putting it in with the snakes.
