I'd be sure to soak that dish in a 10% bleach solution (1 part bleach to 9 parts water). Then let it off gas for 24 hours before using it.

Well im already using it used VERY HOT water and a sponge then i did that 3 more time befor i used it.

/\ I know. I saw your picture. Next time, especially getting something from an unknown source, disinfect with a 10% bleach solution. It kills many more bad germs.

Alright thanks now i know.

My best find was a 20g long tank, mesh lid, florescent light (2 compact bulbs and 18" bulb), humidity/temp gauges, drift wood, and 4 bowls all for $20. It was a set up for a snake but over the years I have found a use for everything.

I also will look at every plastic container that comes thru our house to see if I can use it for a food or water bowl, calcium dish, or hide. You would be amazed how many lids will work for those things and people throw them out. If its safe enough for people food should be just find for the reptiles after a god cleaning.
