Usersafe products

I am in need of some supplies that I used to purchase from usersafe (Steve). His site as well as his supplier's site are not up. Can someone give me a source? Thanks! Kristen

I am not familiar with that group - if you let me know what you are looking for I may be able to help....

I used to buy a lizard-safe enzyme cleaner from him and I also wanted this bacterial spray that he sold that keeps a natural colony in a tank in which the bacteria keep it clean by eating waste......or something like that. ??

not sure what an enzyme cleaner is, but a safe product for reptiles that kills pretty much everything is F-10, a quaternary ammonium solution. All reputable reptile and exotics vets use F-10. Its even used as a nebulizer for respiratory infections in birds and lizards its that safe!

Steve still browzes the forum, so he will probably reply if you can wait. He doesn't post regularly, but I'm sure he will when he sees this thread. As far as I know, the products are still available. Steve can tell you where to get them. I'm sorry I don't have the actual information for you!

I dont recall the names of the products, but have you been able to google the name off the bottle to see if anyone else sells it?

:O Where can I get this?

F-10 is available at many places, i get mine "locally" online at a place called beanfarm.com. F-10 kills crypto which is why i love it, and a little goes a LONG way. Dont be put off by the price ($25) for a seemingly small bottle...the tiny bit on top? Thats a measuring thing, that tiny amount gets mixed into the minimum dilution of 250:1 and makes a whole gallon!!
If you live near carnation you can usually call them to schedule local pickups, otherwise shipping is pretty fast since its in the same state!

The exact link to it I'll send via PM

Beanfarm is a great company - you can actually call them with questions. I will definately check out the product - sounds like a must for all reptile caregivers.

I also use F10 and would reccommend trying it if you cannot source what your looking for. I have both their pre diluted disinfectant and hand gel. Both great.

[kristymac]

Yes, that would work for the things I normally use the enzyme cleaner for. Although the enzyme based cleaner smells really good. But, I was also looking for this stuff that sprayed some combo of bacteria. It made its own little ecosystem of some sort. One would not ever use a disinfectant after it is set up.

I did notice that it has been within the last couple weeks that usersafe (Steve) visited this forum. I will PM him.

that enzyme cleaner sounds like it would be good for maintanence cleaning in a collection you know is healthy, but i'd never use a product like that for new/sick animals. It is interesting sounding though.

[kristymac]

You may have misunderstood. The enzyme cleaner kills germs, just safely. It's the other stuff that creates a little ecosystem. I guess it's like how you have good bacteria in a fish tank and if you make it too clean, it disrupts everything.
Anyway, I have had my two guys for years and they are healthy.
