Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

What is the best way to...
Wondering what the best way to clean a ficus and an umbrella tree to be safe to put in my snakes terrarium? Palmolive soap, small amount of diluted bleach??
I don't want to kill the plant, but I'd like to know it's safe for my rainbow boa.
I've looked up both of these types of plants, both found on lists saying they are safe for reptiles, including snakes. If you've ever heard anything different, please let me know that as well.
Thanks for anyone's input in advance! ♡

might sound weird put in boiling water and/or wash it down with a rag with environmental hazard free soap. i have heard put it in a oven as well but that sounds like it would catch on fire

I would set the plants up in a separate terrarium for a "quarantine" period. Use dawn dish soap in a spray bottle. 1 part soap 9 parts water. Spray both plants entirely and let it sit overnight. Rinse thoroughly in the morning and set the plants up in a separate terrarium. Treat the terrium for mites/other bugs using your prefered product.
I would wait about a month and a half to ensure everything is mite/bug free. Better safe than sorry.
