Adenovirus cleanup

[Andrew Sinclair]

My bearded dragon recently passed away from Adrenovirus. I'd like to make 100% sure his terrarium is cleaned before I even think about putting one of my other reptiles in the tank. so far I have
2x cleaned with 50% bleach
2 x cleaned with 20% vinegar
2 x wiped with CaviWipes

rinsing with hot water in between each cleaning.

I've tossed all the insides of the terrarium: hides, plants, feeding dishes ect.
Have i done enough? I cant find any good literature on cleanup.
thanks

Hello, I've never personally dealt with adenovirus but I think that you have done enough as bleach is very effective. Here is a paragraph I pulled off the internet that should help you out too.


"Bleach is effective against adenovirus, so mix a 10% concentration using fresh bleach. The mixed solution will be good for about a week, then you'll need to replace it. Let it sit for 20-30 minutes, then rinse thoroughly. Its also a good idea to clean any debris using warm soapy water beforehand, as bleach is deactivated in the presence of organic debris.
Adenovirus also has a lifespan on solid non-porous surfaces of about 10 days. So after disinfection, let the enclosure sit for a week or so. Setting it outside in the sun will also aid in the disinfection process, as adenovirus is readily killed by heat and ultra violet radiation."
