When do I clean my snakes cage?

[QueenOfKing]

I've had my snake King for about 2 1/2 weeks and I've seen his poop once. However, he does burrow a TON! Now, my guess is that he poops in his burrows which is great but how am I supposed to know when to clean his cage? Should I just stick to 1x a month or?

I spot clean when/if needed and do a full cleaning ( change of newspaper, clean water bowls, etc. ) once a week. I don't use any other substrate other than newspaper so I can't help you with the whole burrowing thing.

I would spot clean as needed, and change the whole substrate monthly.

It depends on the substrate.

I change newspaper 1-2 times a week, and spot clean every day. (I sometimes change it daily if someone took a really big pee)


For shaving substrate, you can spot clean daily and change new bedding once a month.

Coconut fiber by EcoEarth. I might switch to shredded newspaper or regular news.
