    Cleaning the Tank?
    How often do you change the bedding in the tank? Also, when cleaning the tank, do you use soap and water, windex, bleach, etc... What is best, the fumes on some of these cleaners does not smell safe.

    i change the bedding every week or whenever there is any feces or urine.

    i use hot water and soap with a squirt of hand sanitizer when i wash it out. then i dry it out and let it sit for a bit to air dry.

    havent had any problems yet.

    I use soap and water but my tank still stink sometimes b/c my snake tends to unload huge stinkers.

    I know a lot of people on the board use chlorohexadine(sp?) as a cleaner. I hear its so gentile u can use it on the snake. i've only heard good things.

    I've yet to use it, I"m prob gonna pick up some soon

    Been using chlorohexadine. If I'm out, I use a mild bleach solution and let the tank sit for a while.

    I use soap and water on my tubs and cages first, and then I use chlorhexadine :)
    Soap and water takes away stinks and stuff and then the chlorhexadine zaps other nasties that could be hanging around.
