I have a very large swimming pool, and I would love to take him swimming. Is pool water with chlorine safe to take my Tegu in, provided I wash him afterward?
That is true, but if you use chlorine or bleach to clean an enclosure you are using a 100% solution and can be leaving 100% chlorine film.got10 said:Chlorine isn't safe for people let alone the animals. Remember chlorine is POISON that's why you should not clean out your enclosures with chlorine bleach.

I clean my tegus enclouser with regular laundery bleach....

dawn liquid and vinegar imo is the best thing to use for enclosures

If it bled BECAUSE of the chlorine dude, why would you NOT think it wasn't a good thing.? If I did something to make ANY of my animals even the slightest bit of harm I WOULD CEASE ASAP IF NOT SOONER. That would be like asking if it was ok to let your kids play in broken glass .
