    How often do you change your snake bedding?

    Whenever it gets really dirty or every 1-2 months (for me).

    I do it when they "make" it dirty.

    Re: How often do you change your snake bedding?

    Pretty much weekly or more often. I will clean if the food makes a mess like when they get the pee squeezed outta them, or when they poo or pee. Mine pee around twice a week and poop every 2 weeks.
    Im on paper towels though so it takes like 1 min to change

    Re: How often do you change your snake bedding?

    kinda hard question. some of my snakes are prone to being way messier than others. I base it on the animal spot clean constantly and completley change when spot cleaning is not an option.

    Re: How often do you change your snake bedding?

    Depends on the rate I can spot clean and how messy they are.
    If it's real bad or they shed everywhere, I might replace the whole thing or just half.

    Otherwise, it's every month or so.

    Depends. Normally if they poop or pee I just change the newspaper. If they manage to get it directly on the bin it goes in for cleaning. If not, once a month we have a cleaning day.

    I do a complete change monthly or as needed! It all depends on the substrate used!

    Re: How often do you change your snake bedding?

    If you use a substrate, then you can spot clean and change out the substrate at a much longer interval. If you use newspaper or paper towels, you will clean the entire tub more often, thus change out the paper more often as well.
