I use two products to clean
Cholorohexidine solution (diluted). Mix it down with water and can be used to spot clean or clean entire enclosure with bowls and hides, it is also used to clean wounds and at stronger concentrations my vet uses it to disinfect surgical tools.
And I also use Simple Green d Pro 3 a lot!, it zaps all bacteria, virus and fungus and is a great deodorizer. http://www.simplegreen.com/products_pro_3.php
Great for quarantines or mold. Always rinse thoroughly when using the simple green d pro 3
I clean when they mess or once a week. When pairing for breeding I may let the female enclosures stay a little messier with pee or sheds for the pheromone scents.
we actually were thinking about buying extra tubs so that we could do that. we were very curious if it would be worth buying extra tubs. But I guess if you have 40 to 50 snakes it can be very beneficial. Thank you for the post! XD
