Your snakes and Cage Cleaning

So what do you all do with your snakes while you clean their cages?

I sit on the floor for some of my cleaning, so if they're being good, they can just sit in my lap while I clean out their tub and put fresh paper in. If they're being squirrelly or if there's too big a mess for a simple quick-clean, then I put the snake in a bag and set it on my desk (which is next to my snake rack). If I had a big rack with some empty drawers, I would just designate one of the empty drawers as a holding pen.

My son holds them. It's only a matter of time before HE'S cleaning the tanks! MWAHAHAHAHAHA!

I normally just have Spot around my neck, unless I'm using bleach or something with bad fumes to clean - then he's kept in a tub or spare cage.

Put them in a spare tub :)

I typically hold onto him, or set him on the desk that his tank sets on. If it's a big mess, or he's in shed or digesting, I put him in his spare tank. He's pretty chill, not terribly anxious- but also a curious little bugger, so I gotta watch him close! If his head goes out of sight, I move him back to start.

My wife or daughter will hold each one (one at a time) as I clean.:cool:

I have spare tubs, but usually my boyfriend will hold them while I clean :)

Into it's temporary tub, or occasionally a soak in the same tub.
