    My snakes all seem to like a good warm bath. Especially close to shed

    I check my snakes daily, so if a tub is dirty it gets cleaned. During the week I change out the substrate, refill the dish, and wipe it with chlorhexdine solution.

    On weekends I wash the tubs with hot soapy water and change out the substrates, refill the dishes.

    Twice a week I change out the waterbowls then soak them in bleach and water and scrub them out as well.

    Like Samaras... I never sleep.

    Spot check daily, clean tubs weekly, bathe snake when dirty (or when is looks like it had a feces fight). That's my schedule anyway.
