How many times do you guys check your snakes?

When you check them daily, do you just glance their tubs and see if they are doing fine? or you open their tubs and say hello to them?

I'll take a look at all the tubs in the racks a few times a day. Every 2-3 days I'll slide tubs open, pull the snakes out and give them a once-over, as well as poke around their tubs (under paper) to make sure nothing is going on. I spot clean as necessary and do a thorough cleaning once a week.

I mist mine daily, do a thorough check of the snakes and tubs to make sure everything is ok on feeding day before bringing home the feeders as I don't care to get nipped by trying to handle a snake in "food mode", and I also check the snakes when I have to remove them to clean an enclosure. So, they all get peeked at daily, and inspected at least twice a week.

Twice a day for me... Before I go to work in the morning and After Im Coming back from work in the evening :gj:

I check on them everyday. Literally takes about 1 minute. If there is poop or spilled water then it gets taken care of. Plus i usually handle at least one of them everyday.

I "check" them multiple times a day ;) meaning, I look to see which hide someone's backside is in! I keep mental notes of how long they stay in one spot over a week. I normally physically check under hides and around their typical poop-spots (my corn has a favourite corner for some reason) every other day or whenever I take them out or change their water.
If I had different, less absorbent substrate, I might check it every day. But this is just what works for me and my snakes. It's kind of nice too because they seem to have a pattern - especially the corn, as I've mentioned. She's got her favourite spot where she goes 8/10 of the time, and she almost always goes on day 5 after feeding day.
The ball python only goes every couple of weeks; to be fair, I know he urates much more often but it dries up quickly and I miss it more than I probably should!

Few times a day, sometimes the snakes and I will sit down and have in depth conversations. Contemplate the meaning of life, you know nothing crazy.

At the very least,once a year.:gj:

There is not a good answer here.
I look in on them at least once a day BUT right now I am waiting on a couple to lay so I probably check way too much LoL

I marked every 2-3 days on the poll. I do glance over them daily but open the tubs and pull them out for an inspection every couple of days.
