    Mass soiling!

    I cleaned, sanitized, and replaced all the substrate in all my tubs and tanks last night. So you know what that means don’t you? It means in the next 3 days, EVERY SINGLE ONE is gonna crap and make a general mess of things!! Happens every time!

    It's good practice for having kids...they only wait a few hours. At least you might get a few days?

    In my case, the kids prepared me for the snakes!! They’re all growed up now but I remember fondly the days where you would bathe them and put new fresh clothes and a new diaper on them, and 10 minutes later they would have a complete blowout and have a stinky mess all over them, their new clothes, and whatever else they happened to come in contact with (usually me)!

    I could swear that snakes wait for a nice, freshly deep-cleaned enclosure to do their business

    It does seem that way, but logically, it's only the stress &/or activity we stir up when we move them out of the way to clean...all that motion affects them internally.
    I refuse to believe that they're actually that evil. Though there's been times....

    Haha yeah, I'm sure snakes don't actually have the capacity to scheme, as much as popular media would like us to believe that I also wonder if it might have something to do with getting their scent back into the enclosure after it's been washed and all the bedding is changed.
