• In case most of you have not noticed, I made changes to the donation amounts as well as the durations for all of the paid membership levels. Things are winding down here, and this seems to be the most prudent way to deal with the "end of life" period of this site.

    Contributor level members - $10 per 30 days
    Sponsors - Eliminated
    Benefactor level members - $25 per 30 days
    Endowment level members - $50 per 30 days

    On July 1, 2027, all paid memberships will be closed.

    On August 1, 2027, FaunaClassifieds will be terminated.

    Only change I expect that might take place is when I can get around to figuring out when the amount of money I would have to refund for the yearly paid memberships becomes less than the monthly expense of leasing my server, THAT date might be the termination date for the site.

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.
 
Please do not use the classifieds for discussion.
Moved to the General Herp Talk forum.
