    I am a 14 year old who has divorced parents, which puts me in a situation where I go to my mother's house for a week and my father's house for a week; I switch homes every week. I chose a BP because of this, I will be able to stop by and provide water every other day, and I can wait a single day to feed. My father is worried about the smell the cage would cause. Because of this, can you guys give me a good suggestion for substrate, and how often I would need to clean it.
    I plan on getting a male and using this terrarium:

    Do you plan to get an adult? If not you will need to start with a much smaller enclosure especially for an hatchling.

    As far as bedding, coconut chip type bedding will be absorbent and take care of odor issues.

    As for cleaning you should clean as necessary.
