one thing you need to remember, if you wouldn't want to live there, then it's probably time to clean.Originally Posted by searsb
I use aspen which makes it really easy to spot clean.
Everyday, I pull out the water bowl rinse it out and dry it off then put fresh water in it. I take a good whiff to see if there are any "bad" smells coming from the cage. If I do that usually means he made a mess somewhere. I go looking for the problem.
Snakes generally do not smell bad. If when you are handling your snake and it smells bad, then you need to do a really good job of cleaning his environment. His skin is picking up the smell of his enclosure. I also think that it is a good idea (once a month) to let my snake swim in a very shallow tub of warm water -- never more than 1/2 inch deep. He generally likes it and it does wonders for his skin...
Good luck and welcome to BP.net
