    Snake tank maintenance

    I have a tank with wood chips as the base to help maintain humidity.
    I decided to lay down a layer of paper towels underneath it after a particularly liquid and messy poo that took forever to get off the glass.
    But the paper gets soaked with urine and poo and shuffling the wood chips aside so I can pull it out and replace it is also proving to be annoying.

    Can someone provide me some tips on cleaning my tank, thanks!

    I wouldn't use wood chips for a ball. I would use Eco earth or reptile prime. Easy clean up and a hell ova lot softer for your ball. Also holds humidity better, keeps the smell down and just over all easy spot cleaning.

    I like the look of eco earth from the bag mixed with bark. It looks pretty cool and has the bebefits of both
