    How do you clean BP waste?

    Well i have been wondering how other people do it. I use repti-bark as substrate. And when Mitch dumps out a mouse, (usually after i clean his tank -.- I usually scoop it out with a plastic fork then throw it away. I was looking at reptile scooper's but they are 10 bucks!

    Yeah find a small dust pan or large cooking spoon and use that. If might be a good idea to wipe down the area or even spray with some Chlorhexadine and wipe down to disinfect it.

    I use wipes. No fragrance, no additives safe for bottom, hands and face. Works great for all reps. For my large boa, I use a kitty pan scooper to get the big chunks out and then remove the rest of the soiled substrate with the wipes and clean the area and replace the substrate.

    I take out the dirty paper towels, wipe down the tub with Healthy Habitat by Natural Chemistry (Reptile Basics) and replace with clean paper towels. Very fast and easy. If you haven't tried the healthy habitat, it's awesome!!
