Those who own reptiles recognize the unique joys they can bring; however, like other animals, they still need a fair amount of care.

One of the most important tasks when it involves caring for a reptile is cleaning the cage on a regular basis. With time, fecal matter and microorganisms can gather in the cage. While cleaning the cages might feel like a chore, it is necessary to ensure this is done to prevent bacteria from building up. Reptiles are known for carrying Salmonella. This is a dangerous bacteria that can lead to a severe GI infection to those who contract it. Therefore, cleaning the cages often is important.

How To Take Care of a Cage- There are a couple of steps that need to be taken when it concerns cleaning a reptile's cage. First, begin with the accessories. These can be cleaned by boiling them in water to eliminate anything that might be living on them. If there is sand present, these can be washed and then baked in the oven. Try to keep a cleaning kit assembled with all of the equipment needed to care for the cage. Try to avoid mixing this with normal household cleaning products. In general, cages need to be cleaned on a daily basis for spills, shredded skin, feces, and clean food and water dishes. Try to deep cleaning about once each week.
