    I give her a wash in the sink and change out the mulch in her tub then just leave her alone for a while. She's usually back to normal in about a week.

    I wash my females off, completely disinfect their tub (including the top of the ARS cage), put in a fresh water bowl in a new PVC coupler. Usually, the females eat the next day, though I've had some eat the same day as laying. It has worked for me and the wash gives me the opportunity to check out the female well to ensure there are no more eggs and that she is doing well.

    ^^ what Don said. I put about 3 inches of room temp to slightly warm water with a few drops of dish soap and wash her off, then into a new tub in a different slot in the rack. I like the opportunity to feel for extra eggs, vent issues, and just to see that she isn't acting deathly and still squirms when I throw her in some water.

    I don't even switch tubs .. I clean the old one and the waterbowl with regular soap i use for cleaning hands, I wash off the female under regular pipe water and put her in the old tub (which is now clean) usually they start eating after about a week

    I take the females off eggs and put them directly into a tub with warm water and betadine. Do they need it? No, not really. But just like some humans, snakes can tear a little bit or a lot depending on how large the eggs are. The betadine will help to clean and disinfect any wounds. Once I've put the eggs in the incubator and cleaned the tub I put the moms back in. The all slide into the tubs through a towel to dry them off.
