    I do my round first thing in the morning and last thing before I go to bed.

    Once or twice a day at least.

    I usually check the snakes once a day, opening every tub.
    I also check on the rodents by opening every tub and checking water and food daily.

    what about if it is a new snake in its first week with you? I know you all say to leave them alone but is it okay to lift their hide to make sure they are ok?

    Plainly, no. Any disturbances will only stress out the snake and make the period of adjustment longer.

    I'm always checking on Foster, several times a day. But, I just look through the glass so I don't disturb her. My son will check on her daily by lifting her hide.
