I have used the search function and nothing came up.

Does anyone know the dilution rate for this???
I don't need to fill a whole bucket.t
 
it depends how strong you want it mate...as snakes have gram negative bacteria you want at least a 1:500 and looking at the bottle the strongest on there is a 1:125 with contact time of 30minutes. that will kil everything up to and including parvo (which dogs get) i usually run a 1:250 or there abouts for cage cleaning etc.. but a 1:125 is not that strong you cant contact it.. so if your mixing 1 L put 8ml f10 in then your good to go.. hope that helps..
 
Gram Positive Bacteria - 1:1000 - 2 mins

Gram Negative Bacteria - 1:500 - 2 mins

Fungi, Yeasts, Moulds - 1:500 - 15 mins

Fungal Spores - 1:250 - 30 mins

Viruses -
Newcastle Disease - 1:500 - 30 mins
Rabies - 1:500 - 10 mins
Infectious Bursal - 1:250 - 20 mins
Parvo - 1:125 - 30 mins
 
my vet, recommended to me 1 ml to 500ml leave for 30 minutes and rinse thoroughly
 
im not sure Fay, i tend to use a sprayer, spray lightly and wipe immediately with a damp cloth and allow to dry, which doesnt take long at all since the enclosure is heated. i then also place newspaper down so there is minimal contact. It would be interesting to hear what the ratio in the f10 wipes is, people at reptile expo's regularly use them between handling animals even to the extent of wiping the animal itself, my memory is bad but i seem to recall something about a light mist spray being of benefit to respiratory issues. Please no one take my word as gospel please read this

I've heard your supposed to let it sit for half an hour to let it do its job, I use trigene which is simular stuff but meh i usually let it sit for 10-15 minutes while i work on the other ones then wipe it out.

P.S. your not suposed to breath the stuff in so i wouldn't let your animals
 
I know the Cutting Edge Morellia (I hope I don't get shot for using a name!!) used it on his snake/s after the snake expo, but I don't know what strength he used. Sorry! But it would appear fairly safe then wouldn't it?
 
yea i wash my hands with it wouldn't be phased about washing down my snakes with it I would worry though if they drank it or breathed a pretty good ammount of it in as a fine mist.

All F10 documentation i have seen as displayed above providing its diluted to their recommendations poses non toxic for oral and nil inhalation

Hope this provides the solutions for you Fay

I use the hand gel and sometimes use it on Snakey, is this safe? I know he doesn't like the alcohol in it so I rub it on my hands first before putting it on him.

This is a good thread, I was thinking about getting some F10SC to clean my enclosure, its good to know these facts.

It doesn't need to be washed off, you can (and should) let it air dry.

Absolutely correct, as pythonking stated earlier, there is a minimum recommended contact time of half an hour, but you can just let it dry naturally, no need to wipe off.
