Exo Terra Turtle Bank

The magnetic floating Turtle Bank creates an instant corner "island" in virtually any terrarium. Super-strong magnets hold the durable resin "rock" in place, yet remove easily for cleaning or repositioning. The Turtle Bank automatically adjusts to any water level, ensuring an always-convenient ramp to a dry basking space. Choose the size that best fits your pet's home, or add various sizes to a large terrarium.

Reptiles are susceptible to skin and bacterial infections if cages and housing are not kept scrupulously clean. Their fecal matter carries bacteria, such as Salmonella, that can also contaminate humans. Terrariums, furnishings, and the cleaning equipment itself needs to be regularly cleaned as well as periodically disinfected and sterilized.

Remove the contents from your terrarium. The best products for cleaning your herp's habitat are those specifically designed to be herp-safe. Otherwise, use plain soap and water or mild dishwashing detergent carefully diluted. Be sure to rinse all surfaces with hot water until all suds are gone, and do not use any products that contain phenol or pine scent. After washing, you must also disinfect and sterilize all surfaces with chlorine or ammonia. However, both chlorine and ammonia are highly toxic to your herp, so exercise absolute care to remove all residue before replacing your pet in its newly cleaned home. Be sure to thoroughly clean all equipment, sponges, buckets, and sinks to prevent cross-contamination. To minimize the danger of Salmonella infection, wear gloves and protective eyewear as you clean your reptile's enclosure.
