I guess i better share this.. All health begins with a clean home. Here are my choice of disinfectant, which are readily available in supermarkets throughout Brunei. They are cheap and can last me 3-6 mths. The Dettol Fresh Scent is really nice, i prefer that then the spring mist of the Clorox brand. The Original Dettol is great, all my Snake are use to the smell. Oh, as this are chemicals, pls do wash your snake container with lots and lots of water after disinfectanting them. You dont want to poison your snake in their homes.
Here are my snakes collection. No pictures is the Albino Nelson MilkSnake @ Baby & Reverse Okeetee CornSnake @ Smygle. Well, can you name the Snakes??
In my flickr, i name this set Mike's Intensive Care. Look at it, kesian kan. Im giving him this Home-Made solution 3-times already, once every 24-Hours.. Today, i just gave him another one, it looks like he's getting hydrated & he is abit active than before. This method is the absolutely last method, as this method causes tremendous stress on them. I wouldnt resort to feed him like this, but as vets here is unknown to reptiles world so by Asking a few friends here and there, and i was pointed to a right direction. Hope fully, Mike will recover.
Here is a de-hydrated BallPython. Pls avoid buying Ballpython with this condition, as my previous story say, its a lesson for me to learn, and for you not to experience. It's ready a headache really, luckily i have time to care for Mike. And i want him to grow & be healthy. Pls wish him full recover, as im treating him as much as i can.
And here is my journal, anything i do to my snake, i write it down. Yup, serious SnakeKeeper keeps one.

hey, i may have not known if dettol and air fresh can help in reptile rearing but here are some extra information i got from winged wolf in yahoo.answer year ago.
"If they have been vetted, then once every couple of months, thoroughly scrub and sterilize their cage with a vinegar or weak bleach solution. Be EXTREMELY careful to rinse all traces of the disinfectant away--it should not have an odor when you are done. A brief airing in the sun may help get rid of the last traces of bleach. Use the nose test. Give it a final rinse with water again before replacing furnishings. Plastic furnishings can also be sterilized. Wooden ones may need to be replaced periodically if they have been soiled."
thanks..
But for your info & others. Dettol is an Antiseptic, Germicide that helps protect from Germs etc. If you look, the so-call "air fresh" is a Disinfecting Spray. Aint the pic, clear?? The Disinfecting Spray Kills 99.9% of bacteria, fungi, germs etc.. I tend not to use Bleach, Yeah, bleach is a strong disinfectant too, but i can stand the smell even if its in diluted form. And this Disinfectant i use, is totally safe for humans, so with that in mind, its safe for pets. BUT...
If you read my 1st paragraph..
