    cleaning routines for newspaper users?
    Hi guys, I'm a complete newbie. We got our baby today (she is our first snake) and I am in love!!! We decided to start out with newspaper (unprinted) as substrate to see how it goes. I am just wondering what everyone's cleaning routines are?
    Do I need to swap out the paper if it gets wet or just when she poops (and I plan on doing a weekly cleaning no matter what).
    How often do you deep clean everything?
    Thanks in advance for all of your help!

    If it's just a waterbowl spill I'd leave it be. Anything else and I'd replace it all.

    I change mine pretty much everyday. I clean it even if the water spills I'm a clean freak. When my snakes pee or poo I always clean with bleach and disinfect it lol

    A little water spill won't harm anything. I'll sometimes do that in the winter just to bump humidity up...
