    I'll have my girlfriend hold onto them while I clean, if she's not home I'll use a snake bag.

    I put my snakes in a spare tub while I am cleaning their tubs.

    Since I have a converted showcase set up as a home for my BP, I just set him on top of it while I clean it. I tried putting him on my neck during cleaning, but most of the time my head is stuck inside while I clean and it gets a bit risky with the tight squeeze

    I put my boa and ball around my neck, the corns I try to hold in one hand and clean with the other since they are so squirmy! haha. When my boa is bigger I am not too sure what I will do. Probably will have to have a friend hold him while I clean or have him around my arms and waist.

    I have a spare tub in my rack to use when cleaning. And occasionally it is used for a soaking tub.

    Whe I clean, I set the snake on a chair near the rack and cover it with an old dark towel.

    It takes me about two minutes to pull a tub, remove the paper toweling, spray the tub and wipe it out, and put new paper toweling in. Another few seconds to top off the water bowl or swap it out for a clean one if it's needed. The hide gets wiped off and put back. Occasionally I'll remove all of the hides and give them a good community soak and scrub, but wiping them off is usually enough.

    My snakes don't try to get out from under the towel. It takes them longer than a couple of minutes for their "exploring" instinct to kick in if they're covered. They curl up and hang out and I glance at the chair every few seconds to be sure that nobody is trying to absquatulate while I'm freshening up their crib.
