This is how we do it! How do the 50+ snake handle their cleaning?

What's f10 ?

It's a disinfectant.

I figured that out. :P If I wanted some for myself, do I search for something called f10, or does it have a brand name maybe ?

I spot clean fecal matter and urinates as needed, clean once a month with new substrate unless otherwise needed, and PAM everytime a new snakes comes into the collection (after QT that is)

I'm not sure if they still have any to sell due to the fire. There are a few other places that carry it, though I'm not sure who.

Folks with lots of snakes use racks which helps tremendously. You want to have more rack spaces or tubs then snakes so when one gets real messy you can swap out a fresh tub quickly and clean the soiled one when convenient.

I use two products to clean

Cholorohexidine solution (diluted). Mix it down with water and can be used to spot clean or clean entire enclosure with bowls and hides, it is also used to clean wounds and at stronger concentrations my vet uses it to disinfect surgical tools.

And I also use Simple Green d Pro 3 a lot!, it zaps all bacteria, virus and fungus and is a great deodorizer. http://www.simplegreen.com/products_pro_3.php
Great for quarantines or mold. Always rinse thoroughly when using the simple green d pro 3


I clean when they mess or once a week. When pairing for breeding I may let the female enclosures stay a little messier with pee or sheds for the pheromone scents.

We clean our tubs once a week with water and soap, but everyday we'll go through the tubs and check to see if something is dirty and we will use cholorohexidine solution to clean what little poop or urine there is.

we actually were thinking about buying extra tubs so that we could do that. we were very curious if it would be worth buying extra tubs. But I guess if you have 40 to 50 snakes it can be very beneficial. Thank you for the post! XD

I agree, I have about half a dozen large tubs and a dozen small tubs that aren't in use. It makes it easier for cleaning and feeding at times.

I clean my tubs once a week.
