This leads me to another question, why do I need to disinfect? I don't disinfect her bedding now and that is no more antibacterial than turf. Obviously I change her bedding after "movements" and I had planned on using that same schedule.

I had kinda figured that if turf could take 300 lb lineman falling on it, it could handle some heat and a snake. Also I'd read about people "burning" the edge of the turf so it holds together.
