    I do it once every 4-6 weeks. I spot clean but once it starts to smell it's time to change the bedding.

    6-8 weeks at the longest, and then i ditch all the bedding and spray the tank down with a mild vinegar and water solution, wipe it all down, spray with water and wipe again and then new bedding. bowls and hides all get soaked in bleach solution and then rinsed well and left to dry.

    works well so far

    EXACTLY what I do (except I use bleach solution to spray it down). Generally after 4-6 weeks the aspen starts to really deteriorate and has to be changed.

    Re: All People That Use Use Aspen- How Often Do You Do A Complete Bedding Change?

    I spot clean quite a bit which cuts down on how much i need to do a full clean. It depends on the snake. My babies are kept in full size tubs so it takes them a long time before it needs to be completely changed out. My adults can tear it up much quicker. No real rule, when it needs it, I do it.

    Also, do you guys change your aspen if it gets wet or do you just leave it
