Dump out everything in the tank, bleach the crap out of it and then place all new Items in the tank. I wouldn't reuse anything I couldn't fully bleach.
After I bleach something I rinse it 5-6 times then leave it out in the sun for a few hours to get rid of the smell.

Re: Ok i need help.Urgent

If she died of a virus, there is no cleaning solution that will kill its residue. Some viruses can live for up to a year on a sterile surface.

So it's upto you if you take the risk of placing a healthy snake in there.. Personally I wouldn't, but that's just my opinion.

Dude, just buy more. It's not a big deal. And I'm pretty sure you can't boil mulch.

Just buy new mulch. It's not worth the risk.

Re: Ok i need help.Urgent
Seriously...I think it would cost more in electricity to boil several batches of mulch.... Go out and get more.
And why did you quote my question with a question....kill what virus...you don't even know what virus you're dealing with. I just wanted to know what type of virus couldn't be killed with cleaning agents.
