    Re: How many times do you guys check your snakes?

So it's still worth my peace of mind to peek in for the thirty seconds it takes to check on them and make sure they're clean, dry, and have drinkable water. I could make it even easier by removing the substrate to straight paper towels, but eh. 2 snakes, a whole 2 minutes a day? Not a hardship for me. I'm sure I'd streamline more if I had more.
    I use big 'ol monster ceramic bowls...haven't had one of those tipped unless it was due to breeding. I'm in the snakeroom several times a day so I can see if any tubs are wet just by looking at the front of the tubs, but I guess I don't consider that as checking on them.
