It's so true that spray bottles disappear when you need them most, and as soon as you buy a new one, the old one magically reappears. I think my parrot is hiding them from me. And yes, smart plugs are such a life saver! My parrot has a full spectrum light that stays on for 12 hours, and it is so nice not having to worry about turning it on or off. Having it turn off automatically also reminds me that it's time to put her to bed, which is wonderful if you're as forgetful as I am.

The spray bottle growing legs and walking away is the most accurate thing I’ve heard in a very long time

When they don't let go, a little shot in the mouth with the sanitizer works every time... So when we work with the burm, sanitizer is at the top of the list! Love your videos and your charisma!

Another thing to add to the F10 thing. So many people use a water/vinegar solution to clean after their reptiles. Vinegar doesn’t remove bacteria/parasites/fungus. If it did we wouldn’t have all of our cleaning products and vets would use that. Use something that is meant for removing bacteria! I’m not talking about the bowls but everything else should be cleaned with something like F10. (That’s what I use)

Hey bro if you don’t mind I’m having trouble finding a good sanitizer and disinfectant on Amazon. Any recommendations? I’m looking for the one you use but can’t find it.
