How often to clean?

Thank you all for your advice!!

I think I'm going to switch from aspen to simple newspaper or paper towels for now...I've got a little mite problem going on so I think that will make things easier. I am hoping my PAM gets here soon. Poor guy has been soaking all day.

I clean once a week generally unless there is a huge poo then the tub gets completely dumped when its noticed.

I use paper off and on and always use aspen, the paper underneath helps keep the yuckies from drying on the plastic and can make for faster cleanups. I could just use paper but I like giving them something to roll around in.

Once a week for me. Spot cleaning in between. I generally use newspaper right now due to being unable to find large enough quantities of aspen so I don't buy a dozen new bags every week.

Put a reasonably thick of vaseline around the top of the viv so the mites don't get out if you have other uneffected reptiles. It helps a lot.

danigurrl - I only have the one so far, but I am sure in the future I"ll have more, so thanks for that piece of advice! I would have never thought to do that!!
