I feel like you are taking offense to my feedback to the OP. I was not responding to your feedback to them. I was saying what I do.Does your chameleons poop hit the leaves? Does he eat it the leaves? Chameleons are known to have parasites which aren’t harmful unless out of control and without doing a fecal test no way to know if yours has them or not. So I like to spray things down with a mix of alcohol and water which is completely safe to do while taking my chameleon out of the cage maybe once a month usually a little longer. Don’t see any harm in that one bit. Either way you are stressing them out by coming into there cage to clean or by taking them out. As long as it’s not prolonged stress.
You can get fecal tests to ensure you are not dealing with a parasite issue. The thing about parasites is unless your medicating for it they will not leave the system and continue to flourish effecting the cham's health. So spraying off the leaves does nothing in the end because your not dealing with the base issue of there being an infection that needs to be treated. If you have a parasite issue then of course cleaning the plants during treatment is imperative because you want to reduce the risk of reinfection via ingestion of the oocysts.
Different parasites require different cleaning. For example pinworm oocycts are much easier to deal with and clean for. But something like coccidia requires an entire tear down and cleaning with 40 volume liquid peroxide and throwing out everything porous. The oocysts for this one are extremely hard to kill off and can live for over 2 years on surfaces. So spraying leaves with the combo your talking about would not kill it off.
I get regular fecal tests on my chameleon. So for me going to an extreme and using alcohol in his cage is not something I am willing to do being he actively eats every plant in there. I am not willing to chance anything when it comes to his environment. And since I get regular fecal tests I do not have to stress a parasite issue.
I have been in this hobby for almost 5 years. I have dealt with parasites and have learned that everyone has their way of doing things... You have your way and I have mine. Nothing wrong with either, we just keep them differently when it comes to cleaning. I try to mimic what they would be exposed to in the wild. So only water.
