Question:
Is It Safe To Use A Washed Cleaning Bottle To Mist My Bearded Dragon?

I was wondering if it is safe to use a cleaning bottle to mist my bearded dragon (i.e.windex, lysol, oxi-clean) that has been bleach washed and then rinsed that crap out of with near boiling. Will this hurt my beardie? Or should I just go to my local petstore and buy a mister? Please help.

Head to the dollar store and get a fresh spray bottle. The plastic absorbs a fair amount of the chemical that typically leaks out very gradually, there will be residue in the water even if you bleach and boil it. Bleaching and boiling are great to kill bacteria, but they don't do much good against non-living, harmful chemicals. Also, many plastics contain harmful chemicals themselves, which can leech out into the water; not an issue when there's just cleaner in the bottle, but it's an issue for you if you use the bottle to mist your beardie.



Really, a cheap bottle doesn't cost much and is significantly easier. Not worth the risk.

No its safer to buy a mister, you can also buy those cheap ones for about a dollar. It's too risky and even if you clean it, it will still have residue in it.

there is often the possibility of impaction and it could't be saved as sparkling as the two carpet or paper substrates. that's no longer organic. they do no longer proceed to exist unfastened sea coast style sand interior the wild yet extremely no longer ordinary packed soil with basically a skinny layer of unfastened debris on suitable.
