    Unlike with Repti Chip, it is very noticeable where the snake peed. The substrate turns darker and usually you have some urates right there, too.

    The pee doesn't really get to the bottom (pooling), but its like wet dirt sitting on the bottom, so you want to clean it. I just sweep all the clean substrate away from the wet spot, and then pick up the wet substrate. That leaves me with a bare spot on the bottom. I have a small paper towel that I spray with F10 and then just wipe the spot. Not to get any liquid up (there is none), but to wipe it with sanitizer.

    Then you just push the clean substrate over the bare spot, done !
    thanks for the info, I must try it! sounds great. I do check every day but once in a while, if I am not home for couple days and he pees, humidity is gonna explode with pee smell.
    I am probably gonna order it tomorrow haha.
    Where do you order it from? or does it matter? Amazon seems to have prime option for that reptile prime substrate so I am thinking of ordering from amazon.

    edit- how long can you use one bag for? I have two snakes in two 15 qt tub at this moment, how long do you think it can last?
