    Re: First time cleaning enclosure how?

    I am also worried if I clean everything that my snake will become anxious because of the "new" environment. And if I feed after he might not take it.
    What do you suggest?
    Be SURE you dilute the F10 properly. Wipe it dry. As long as everything is dry, your snake can go right back in. You shouldn't be smelling any chemical- if you are, something's wrong.

    In my house, there's no such thing as "feeding day" or "cleaning day"- in other words, I have no inflexible 'schedules'. If you expect your snake to be nervous & refuse food after his home is cleaned, then just tidy it up for now, feed him, & don't deep clean until after he eats & has digested well enough to be handled. (I'd wait 2 days after his meal, at least.)

    With my snakes, they wouldn't care- I can clean & feed right then- but BPs are often "special" about things like this.
