    Depends on how many snakes you have in that enclosure, how frequent you feed, and what you feed.

    Some forum members spot clean and then clean the entire enclosure every 1 or 2 weeks.

    Re: how often?

    I asked this question about a month or so ago. I also have one snake, and so far what I'm doing(and going to continue to try) is spot clean when I see something, and fully change the substrate and scrub it down every month.


    Here is the link to my post with quite a few personal answers/experiences, if you're interested:

    Sounds like a good deal. Like Invisible Snake said, too though, there are many dependant factors. You'll have to figure out what works for you and your baby, like I'm still doing(me and my snakey are still getting to know each other)
