Ehhhhh... I don't know if I personally would chance it. If you do chose to, I'd definitely contact a vet for what % bleach solution to use...

Definitely keep your collection on hold - you don't want to have anythin going out or coming in for a minimum of a year.

For a while sure, your best bet is to bleach the tank completely and let it dry before putting another pet in it. Don't forget the lid and areas like under the lip and the bottom. Viruses can hide anywhere. 1 tablespoon of bleach to a gallon of cool water is the sanitizing ratio.

we consulted our network vets about 3 1/2 years ago when there was a cluster of IBD in the Seattle area. it was thought by one that bleach is nowhere near effective on most viruses (and we know it doesn't kill crypto).  IBD is probably viral, but since it's not known for sure I'd be reluctant to pull out anything but the big guns.

disinfectants with quarternary ammonium compounds (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quaternary_ammonium_cation) are better able to kill viruses and some other pathogens than bleach, and are less likely to harm your reptile if any tiny amount is inhaled after cleaning.

this is the stuff that was recommended to us: http://alphatechpet.com/kennelsollanding.aspx

for tubs, water dishes, hides, etc that I use for my foster herps I put them in the tub, spray the daylights out of them, and leave overnight. then I rinse well, scrub with soap & hot water to remove surface stuff, rinse and then dry very thoroughly.  there are no guarantees, but I think this is about as close as you can get without getting really industrial about it.  however, with a case of IBD or crypto, I think I'd toss them out. what's the price of a tank compared to the lives of the rest of your collection?

You can use ammonia to kill it, but honestly, I'd pitch the thing and get a new enclosure. They're not expensive and its not worth the risk of missing a spot with the ammonia.

Thanks for the advice everyone.  Yea I was planning on throwing it away, but I figured I would check and see what the community at iherp had to say.  So far none of my other animals have caught the "Plague" and I’m hoping it will stay that way!  Thanx again

There's so much unknown about IBD, that any time your snake looked at you funny, you would think that it had IBD and spend nights tossing and turning and dreaming about being wiped out. I would pay $200 not to have that stress.
