Reptile Scoops & Scrapers

One of the highest responsibilities of owning a reptile or amphibian is keeping your pet safe and healthy. And one of the most important ways to do that is to maintain a clean terrarium. As waste and bacteria build up, your pet’s well-being becomes threatened. An uncleaned terrarium can diminish your reptile or amphibian’s immune system and lead to illness, disease and even death. That’s where tank scoops and tank scrapers intervene.

Quality reptile tank tools are invaluable when it comes to keeping your pet’s habitat clean. The tank scoop makes sifting waste from your pet’s substrate a breeze, and if you’ve ever owned a cat, you already know what to do. Simply scoop up the bedding, and shake your tank scoop to sift larger waste from the smaller bedding you’d like to remain in the terrarium.

If you have a pond in your pet’s terrarium, a tank scraper is a must. These reptile tank tools make easy work of removing algae and other buildup from hard-to-reach places. Simply scrub the sides of your pet’s terrarium, and be sure to change out the water regularly to maintain a healthy environment for your reptile.

Before cleaning your reptile’s terrarium, it’s a good idea to relocate her first. The process of cleaning the terrarium can raise your reptile or amphibian’s stress levels and lead to health complications, so before you start, gently remove your pet and keep her in a safe and secure location while you clean. Also, avoid any harsh chemicals and detergents not specifically formulated for cleaning reptile and amphibian terrariums. These simple precautions will ensure a safe and happy cleaning experience for you and your pet.
