    Have a cleaning day

    So why I even start is because snakes will trick you into cleaning their tubs and then they'll finish going the next day. I say this because it happens to me all the time. You will wash their tub, new paper, everything. Then in a day or two they finish the job. I say this because it will save paper and money. Now if they make a total mess then I say ok clean it. But sometimes it's just like little eurates and you get tricked. So save yourself the stress and pick a day. Any day, and I recommend weekly and two days before feeding day. So some of you may disagree but this will work best, unless you don't mind... Then just go right ahead

    I clean when they make a mess. I have mine on newspaper. I check on everyone every day and if theres a mess i clean it. If not then why bother disturbing them and wasting paper lol?

    I check AM and PM and clean accordingly. I can't imagine having an animal sit in a soiled tub more than half a day, let alone a week. The only designated days I have are for water changes and feeding. Of course, if water gets soiled it gets cleaned even if it isn't "water changing" day..

    I said urate like they haven't even passed the liquid yet. I just feel like at that point it's not dirty enough. When they actually go like actually urinate or poop I revamp. Haven't you ever seen your snake just pass like a urate. I know I came off rash, but I was jumped on their. I didn't say sit in it for a week. You can tell by looking at their butt that they may or may not quite be done

    I was just saying how I do things, if I open a tub and see urates it gets cleaned. I don't often find urates without at least some accompanying liquid, sometimes it's mostly dried before I get there but I can still feel the dampness in the surrounding substrate. I just like keeping my tubs squeaky clean is all.

    Ok that's fine. I guess the Internet doesn't share people emotions well so I took it wrongly. I am extremely sorry for that. I just tend to believe that a snake should proportionally have a large enough area so that it can wait that extra day. Like my albino went at like12 yesterday. He just finished 10 min before writing this. So again I'm sorry, just felt like I was being condemned for something I don't think is horrid. But ya I don't wait a week, I would certainly like to make that clear. I bugged out because I felt your second sentence was about making me inferior and that you're transcendental to me. Idk thts just why I blew up
