How many times do you guys check your snakes?

[j94712]

When you check them daily, do you just glance their tubs and see if they are doing fine? or you open their tubs and say hello to them?

I'll take a look at all the tubs in the racks a few times a day. Every 2-3 days I'll slide tubs open, pull the snakes out and give them a once-over, as well as poke around their tubs (under paper) to make sure nothing is going on. I spot clean as necessary and do a thorough cleaning once a week.

I mist mine daily, do a thorough check of the snakes and tubs to make sure everything is ok on feeding day before bringing home the feeders as I don't care to get nipped by trying to handle a snake in "food mode", and I also check the snakes when I have to remove them to clean an enclosure. So, they all get peeked at daily, and inspected at least twice a week.

Twice a day for me... Before I go to work in the morning and After Im Coming back from work in the evening

I check on them everyday. Literally takes about 1 minute. If there is poop or spilled water then it gets taken care of. Plus i usually handle at least one of them everyday.

I "check" them multiple times a day meaning, I look to see which hide someone's backside is in! I keep mental notes of how long they stay in one spot over a week. I normally physically check under hides and around their typical poop-spots (my corn has a favourite corner for some reason) every other day or whenever I take them out or change their water.
If I had different, less absorbent substrate, I might check it every day. But this is just what works for me and my snakes. It's kind of nice too because they seem to have a pattern - especially the corn, as I've mentioned. She's got her favourite spot where she goes 8/10 of the time, and she almost always goes on day 5 after feeding day.
The ball python only goes every couple of weeks; to be fair, I know he urates much more often but it dries up quickly and I miss it more than I probably should!

Few times a day, sometimes the snakes and I will sit down and have in depth conversations. Contemplate the meaning of life, you know nothing crazy.

There is not a good answer here.
I look in on them at least once a day BUT right now I am waiting on a couple to lay so I probably check way too much LoL

I marked every 2-3 days on the poll. I do glance over them daily but open the tubs and pull them out for an inspection every couple of days.
