    I clean every time the snake tip over the water dishs. Or once a week... whichever happens first. Usually it's the water dish tipping over.
    I have to get some crock dishes...

    Aspen cages - spot clean every other day, clean out 2-4 weeks depending.
    Paper cages- once a week or when dirty.

    I do a full substrate change when the crap and pee and shed all over the place. They usually do a good job of spreading it evenly through the cage so I just give in and change everything :/

    So no one has a really an exact time to change the substrate...

    I used to spot clean with aspen a few times a week as needed, and changed the aspen completely once every two weeks or so.
    I'll check out tractor supply.. not like I need ANY excuse to go there!

    I just switched to paper, and I want to disinfect all furniture apart from hide boxes and water bowls every few months... anytime the snake poops/pees I just change paper and cleaned the soiled spot... no real cleaning schedule.
