    And to think my last g/f would get quite upset when I'd post images of these master pieces left in cages on my facebook . . .

    It really is a site and smell unlike anything else. I can snap some photos next week after the purple girl has her 4 lbs of rabbit in her for a few days. That usually does not disappoint. . . But in all honesty, the poo does not bother me one bit. I grab some toilet paper and pull it out log by log. Then replace the substrate. The urine is what gets you. A liter from a typical release is common, 2 liters is not unheard of either. The ammonia smell alone is so over powering that I know exactly when one of the snakes has done the deed. . . This reason alone is why I'm completely reverting from using aspen in my retic enclosures, and now only use unprinted newspaper in a couple layers. It don't look natural, but it helps a lot with keeping the snakes healthy by being able to replace it quick and easy and not missing aspen spots where urine had dried quicker than I could get to it.

    this is why I switched to paper towels, even though I am sure gentle giants take on a lot more water than my measly BPs. if they're tough to clean up after in loose substrate, I can't imagine the nightmare that is cleaning a retic cage after a nice toilet day.

    Re: Python poop?


    Male tigers first rabbit. Ate it wet and made his stool quite runny.


    Typical mess from my young retics. They love flipping their water and demolishing the cage.

    Repeat after me ... it's ok I love my retics. I love my retics. I love my retics .... rinse and repeat as needed. The phrase and the cages.
