How often to clean tank completely

[AmandaRisher]

I was just wondering how often I needed to clean out my snakes cage completely. We use reptibark and I spot clean every day at least once a day. I was just curiouse as to how often it needed to be cleaned out.

Thanks

With repti-bark, replacement every few months is sufficient. Just keep an eye out for any fungus or bacteria buildups from excessive humidity. Also, if a snake's got parasites it's always a good idea to change the substrate weekly.

I use aspen and i like to clean the cage out once a month, but whatever floats your boat and isn't getting your snake sick i suppose....

Daily? That's a lot of work! Well, maybe not if you only have one snake.. but I'd say once a week if you have aspen shavings or similar.
