How do I get urine off my balls?

I keep my 7 ball pythons in boaphile racks on paper towels and when they urinate I normally get solid urates and liquid urine. The problem I have been having is the snakes are getting the liquid urine all over them because it saturates the paper towels, thus sometimes leaving a musky urine scent on them. I keep everything top notch clean and don't find this to be a problem, however 1 member of my family has the nose of a blood hound. I have read about forum members soaking their snakes in plain water to get it off. I don't find this practical every time they pee. My question is what else has everyone done for this situation? Could I spray F10SC on a paper towel and let the snake slither through?

I don't have any input as I don't normally need to wash off my snakes if they pee (they never smell that I can notice), but I did lol at the thread title :P Hope someone can help ya out

Use some tp!
I use paper towels as well and I've never had that problem.

I put some warm water in the bath tub and let them swim around while I clean out the tubs. They don't usually like the tub but they don't smell after.

If you don't want to rinse them in water just buy a package of the gentle or sensitive skin type baby wipes to keep by your rack. Just grab one and wipe down the snake. They do not have harsh chemicals in them. Hence being safe for newborn humans with sensitive skin or allergies so it wouldn't harm your reptiles. On the contrary.

Shake twice.

Or just use a paper towel.

I use baby wipes too.

I also use unscented baby wipes and occasionally give them a wipe down I'd they had the notion to crawl through their pees and poos during the night.

I also use the baby wipes.

When I pair my snakes I notice they like to finger paint with their poo before they do the deed. Unscented baby wipes do the trick.

Ask R. Kelly what his secrets are.

I've always just run the shower sprayer at lukewarm and rinsed them, I have a few that seem fond of laying in or slithering through their poo.

Similar to the above, I rarely respond to threads... since almost everyone has more experience than I do. BUT, I have to tell you that I am at my office with a few minutes to "lurk" through the new threads and I burst out a quick chuckle @ the title.

I have found that Dollar General has their own brand of sensitive wipes that are cost effective AND efficient for cleaning my 41g breeding tubs. Seems like my snakes recently decided to have peeing contests to see who can make the largest mess. Even to the point of having "plaster of Paris" type clods to pick out.

Also, I see you have 7 snakes and only a member of this forum since about 12/12. I sure hope we can count on more funny titles leading in to more very good questions !

X2 on that one. Freaking hilarious! :rofl:

What can I say you have to keep things light hearted. I'm very happy to hear about the baby wipes. This is great news! Would the scented ones harm the snake, or is it strictly un scented? Also, anybody have any input on the f10?

I may be jumping the gun here as it's only January 4th, but I'd like to nominate that as the "Thread Title of the Year"...Bravo! :salute:

F10 is excellent. And I would stick with unscented.

I use unscented baby wipes. Quick and easy. I hate it when my balls smell like urine.

Thank you for this. I have one particular dirty girl that defecates a lot more than the other and like to swim thru her poop and urine.
