    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Sterilization??

Ok I got some new rocks for my tank..Some broken pieces of a slab of Slate..I feel these will soak up the hat better then The one my tank came with not only that it looks nicer to me.. So I know I must bake them at 350 degrees tro kills any parasites since they were sitting outside in my friends backyard, but is there any type of solution I must dip them in first??

Just curious
 
not necessarily, but i would spray them off before you put them in your tank in order to get rid of dirt, but baking them is all you need to do.
 
I agree with Mike, soak it in 10% bleach and water solution for 10 minutes, then rinse *well* and bake for 1/2 hour at 250* F.
 
k thanks guys...Im gonna use the 10% bleach solution on my tank and I was told to scrub real good, then put in a plastic bag and leave in sun for a day to kill any parasites that are in it and then scrub it clean with a mild dish soap and clean real good..

Im looking for a new babie right now, was gonna get a high end one but Im gonna get a normal beardie and rearrange my cage and test whether it's my setup or the last ones were just too young, I just dont want to waste money by buying a exspensive one and having that one die on me you know??

again thanks for your help

Click to expand...

Just don't forget to butter & flour the pan. :raspberry


Yeah, um I'll humble myself by emphasizing the RINSE WELL part BEFORE you throw it in the oven. Once a convection oven gets a hold of bleach fumes... it's all over. lol.

DOH! :slamit:
