    How often do you clean your tank?

    Should I do it once a month?

    Re: How often do you clean your tank?

    I spot clean pretty much daily. Just picking up any found urates/feces and refilling/rinsing the water dish really. And then I'd recommend cleaning out the enclosure every 4-6 weeks. But I'm not an expert either.

    I usually spot clean whenever theres a mess and cleant he water daily or every other day. Im mean giving the tank a full scrub, taking everything out and laying new bedding in.

    Like I said, I clean out the enclosure every 4-6 weeks. Meaning, I remove the snake, take all accouterment out, remove bedding, wash out tank, replace with clean bedding, and accouterment and snake.

    What do you guys spot clean with?

    What do you use when you do a full wash out of the tub?

    What do you wash the water dish out with? Just a rinse and scrub or do you use soap or vinegar or bleach or something else?

    I havent clean out the whole tank yet but I'm thinking about doing it today. I would use a sponge and some dish washing and give it a full scrub and rinse thoroughly. To spot clean I have paper towels currently as bedding so I usually just remove the paper towel and place a new one.
