Dealing with snake waste

If it is poop I wrap the spoiled newspaper up, tape it, and throw it in the garbage. With urine I wrap it in another piece of newspaper, fold it, tape it, then throw it away. How do you guys do it?

have a box of latex gloves grab the sheet of newspaper ball it up and when i take the glove off it turns into a little bag for the waste i love it

Non of my snakes are on newspaper or paper towels. I keep the Colubrids (Kings and Corn) on Aspen Bedding, my Dumeril's on Aspen and Bark, and my BPs on Cypress Mulch. All I do is take some toilet paper, pick up the feces, and flush it down the toilet. Sometimes I'll forget to put it in the toilet so I'll throw it away.

Very good idea, I never thought about flushing the poop down the toliet lol!

the regular latex (doctor gloves) when you ball up the poop in the newspaper hold a tight fist and start taking the glove off turning it inside out and its like a little baggy i shove about 5-6 newspaper sheets on it lol

Can you buy latex gloves at Walmart? Where did you get them?

I folded my last spoiled sheet of newspaper in a ziplock bag, think I will continue to do this. I looked up latex gloves but a box of 50 is like $99.

I take the wasted papertowels or aspen bedding in my hand and throw it in the trash.
Wipe out the tub with Healthy Habitat and replace.

With aspen I spot clean with my hands. don't really care that much.

The problem with just throwing it in the trash is that the snakes and garbage or both in my room where I sleep and work. I don't want to be smelling that all day lol.
