How much time do you spend on reptile maintenance?
Just interested to know how much time everyone here spends on reptile maintenance (cleaning, feeding, temps, humidity, etc) per week.

I'm right at 5-6 hours a week strictly on my snakes...if I added in maintaining my feeders, which I think that would count as the only reason I have feeders is because I have snakes, then I'd be over 10 hours a week.
Re: How much time do you spend on reptile maintenance?
For 7 snakes, this is my monthly schedule. 1st, 11th, 21st are feeding days. On even numbered days, I change water and spot clean. On odd numbered days, I handle at least 3-4 of them, so they each get handled about 3 times a week. Each Sunday night I do a thorough cleaning of 2 enclosures, so each enclosure gets a thorough cleaning monthly. I do have to adjust cleaning days based on the feed schedule. Changing water doesn't take that long because I have two bowls per snake and I just put in the clean ones and wash the dirty ones in the dishwasher.
