	Is it safe
greenmonkey51 Fish Master Posts: 1571 Kudos: 1692 Votes: 5 Registered: 28-Jan-2004	Im going to be using a 20g long that I used as a hospital tank in for my future ball python. The only medicine I ever used was metronidazole. Would it be safe. Im going to clean it out real good using some tank cleaner, vinegars, and a bleach solution. Also can anybody think of any good ways to get out hardwater stains on tanks.

I think I'm correct in saying that Metronidazole is quite regularly used as a de-wormer on reptiles, so should be ok. I think it also oxygenates very quickly so probably no trace anyway. Some days you're the pigeon and some days you're the statue. Remember that age and treachery will always triumph over youth and ability.
