    How Do You Keep BEL's White?

    I know this sounds like a dumb question, but mine are always dirty looking no matter what. They either get mouse blood on them, slither through stuff, or just don't look white. They don't exactly like to take baths either!

    depending on their age they do get a little color to them they don't stay sharp white. But you can use a little dawn and some warm water and a bath cloth and let them move through the damp soapy cloth. then just rainse them with some clean warm water and poof clean snake.

    A soak like you would for a stuck shed and toweling off should get it clean. Though a moist washcloth could likely do it too.

    never really had much of a problem with mine getting dirty. I use paper towels as a substrate and she is good about using a corner to us as a bathroom. But i have cleaned her with a warm damp towel when she got some blood on her face.

    I use cypress and it makes all snakes with white dirty lol. BEL and albinos get it the worst. I just wipe them down with a damp cloth for pictures and such.
