Same here. I used to just do the spot cleaning method, but the stench was too much. For the little bit of time it takes and extra interaction I get with my snakes it is worth doing a through clean.

hmmmm....newspaper sounds a lot easier. But isn't it dirty? Does it turn there bellies a different color? Cuz i know when i go through a newspaper my hands turn grey and all inked up. I was thinking that though, about when they get older haha. Shes like a little over 2 feet now, and her poop is the size of my cat, if not bigger haha. So i can deff see if it being a lot easier to clean when they are older. Now I have another question(like thats a surprise). These BIG time breeders like Ralph davis, Kevin McCurley, all those guys, how often are they cleaning there tubs, water dishes all of that? Cuz I was thinking, thats ALOT of snakes, and a lot of poop lol. Do they check them all everyday, or how does that work? I would love it if one of them made a video of daily routines and stuff to see how that goes.

You need to let the paper be a few days old. I just have green trees on it so it's rare they ever touch it.

With big breeders like that I imagine they just constantly clean. Have certain days for a specific section and just clean them all in that group. Not for sure though. Send it to Bryan at snakebites.
