Vetark Tamodine E Iodophore Disinfectant 250ml

Vetark Tamodine E is an iodophore-based disinfectant designed for general-purpose vivarium and terrarium disinfection. It is a practical, reliable choice for reptile keepers who need a proven sanitising solution for enclosures, equipment, and handling tools — and it is equally at home in veterinary surgeries, schools, and catering or public premises.

Built-in Colour Indicator

One of Tamodine E's most useful features is its built-in colour marker. You can clearly see which surfaces have been treated and confirm the solution has been fully rinsed away. When used in dips, washes, or footbaths, the solution loses its colour once it becomes inactive — a straightforward visual cue that the disinfectant is no longer working and needs to be replaced.

Dilution Rates for Different Applications

• Vivarium walls, floors, and hard surfaces: dilute 45ml in 10 litres of water
• Porous or heavily soiled surfaces: increase to 90ml in 10 litres of water
• Dishes, utensils, and snake hooks: wash in a solution of 30–45ml in 10 litres of warm water
• Sanitising rinse for equipment: immerse for a minimum of two minutes in 15ml per 10 litres of water
• Hand dips for personnel handling animals or food: 15–30ml in 10 litres of water

Safe Use in Animal Accommodation

After cleaning enclosures or animal dishes, always wipe or rinse Tamodine E away thoroughly before reintroducing animals or food and water items. This step is essential and non-negotiable when used in any live animal environment.

Quarantine and Collection Use

Some zoological collections use a 0.05% iodophor wash-down when processing new animal acquisitions — a practice well suited to reptile shops and private collections managing quarantine protocols. Tamodine E is appropriate for this application.

For reptile keepers who take biosecurity seriously, Tamodine E delivers a straightforward, effective disinfection routine with clear visual feedback at every stage.
