Yeah I had a feeling it wouldn't take you long to fill up a garbage bag of snake waste. Looking for alternatives for people like myself with a small collection of balls.

I don't know where you're looking cause those prices are insanely high.

Go to your local pharmacy. They should have latex/nitrile/vinyl gloves for around $5-10 for a box of 100.

Don't use gloves, just roll everything up into a ball with the paper, put into plastic grocery bag. Usually fill two or three of those on cleaning day. Tie the grocery bag up and throw out.

I use my bare hands for everything, poo, pee, etc etc...

I just wrap the Kraft Paper up and throw it in a 32gal trash can I have in my snake room.

Empty it every trash day to every other trash day:D

This is quite a bit cheaper and they sell them in larger quantities even at a better deal.I use them all the time.

Ditto on the plastic grocery bags and ditto on the filling two or three of those, but only when cleaning up after the burm. :rolleyes: "Slithering through poop is fun!"
