    Cleaning Time

    So it's been about a month now since I've gotten my snakes and I was wondering how do I clean out my tubs? I heard of a very diluted water/bleach solution or is there something else I should get that is better? Thanks for the help.

    Well I keep a spare tub or two on hand and then I put the kids in there on papertowels. I then dump out the old tub (if you are using bedding) and then wipe it down with a clorex wipe and then refill. I run the water dishes and hide boxes in the dish washer. I completely clean out my tub every couple of months (the ones with bedding). The snakes that are on paper get cleaned ALL the time. If "dinner" poops on it, if they spill their water, or if they poop I clean tub and change the paper.

    I hope this helps!!

    I use 10% bleach (rinse thoroughly)

    I hear F10 works great, I intend on getting some soon.

    And chlorhexidine as well.

    Alright, I use paper towels. I will have to run the dishes and hides through the dishwasher though, haha if my mom will be ok with that. Thanks.
