This is a hazardous bacteria that can lead to a severe GI infection to those who contract it. Therefore, cleaning the cages on a regular basis is critical.

How To Take Care of a Cage- There are a few steps that need to be taken when it comes to cleaning a reptile's cage. First, start with the accessories.
