I use OdoBan or chlorhexidine. Generally though if the tub is clean, I just take the paper out and replace. Snakes need to get an immune system somewhere.
The chances of getting an answer from someone that has not posted since 11-23-2009 are pretty slim, this is a 7 years old thread, if you have a question rather than revive an old thread where most of the participant no longer post you should create your own.
I have a large exo-terra with cypress and orchid bark. I spot clean when needed and change out the substrate about once a month. I will use ~5% bleach sprayed on a paper towel to clean anything stuck on the glass. Wait for it to air dry before I add new substrate. Set the hides and climbs back up WITHOUT water bowl. Then spray down with Provent-a-mite. Wait 20 mins with doors closed, 10 min with doors open. Fresh water in clean bowl. Insert snake.
I do plan on going bioactive soon, so I won't have to do anything for 5+ yrs except refill the fogger every few days.
Just to piggy back on this husbandry issue... Is chlorhexidine meant for only spot cleaning? I've used bleach in the past when I remove the animal and do a full cleaning. I was wondering if I'm better off using chlorhexidine instead, or in tandom as a spot cleaning for when I see a poop etc.
I clean all three of my tanks once a week. I usually use Clorox wipes and a water spray bottle. I also have ZooMed wipeout. I usually hit the tanks with that once a month.
I also spot clean as necessary.
I do not like the smell of snake funk, so I probably clean a little more than necessary. My husband isn't bothered by it, but it annoys me
