This may (also) sound like a dumb question, but when you say "when the animal poops or pees I clean with chorhexidine"... WHAT exactly do you clean? I thought I had to clean the smell of the disinfectant thoroughly before allowing the snake in the cage? I'm a newbie, so please forgive any obvious questions... Thanks!

Yes I use the bleach because it is cheaper and I dont liek to waste chlorhexidine for soaking. I use disposable cage liners for 99% of my cages so I just pull it out and clean the bottom of the tub or cage. Brad is right on about the chlorhexidine, super easy on the animal but mean on bacteria. You can just spray and wipe with the chorlhexidine but your right you need to get the bleach smell out, I know it burns my lungs(feels that way anyway) when I am soaking
