Carefresh?

Designer colored bedding …. What will they think of next?

I use Aspen shavings at $18.00 for a 26 cubic foot bale from my local farm supply Skagit Farmer.

So how often should I replace all the substrate?

About three weeks apart or as I lose that wood smell time to clean.

Some time all it takes for me is one goo dump and I got to clean up.

I dump the shaving in my back yard it compotes better than paper Carefresh

So how often should I replace all the substrate?

That depends.

I clean out all poop deposits quickly, so my snakes bedding is clean for months.

It has to get really trashed before I change it completely.

as long as you keep it free of collected poops, it will last a long time.

If you let it absorb and get all damp with waste, you will have to change it a lot more frequently.

A little added as a freshen up step along the way helps too.

You know Wayne I have let my Womas go for about two months without a cleaning and they are in the living room on display. Their poop is like that of a cat with not much smell.

But my Kings … whew … I get right on that one.

As I get into the garters can I except the poop to be like a king?

I mean I too pick out the large pieces.

Ditto... this is exactly what I do too!

Garter poop is kinda like kingsnake poop.

It is smallish, but wet and runny like bird poop, not overly smelly.

Aspen soaks it right up, and then I use a tissue wad to grab the clumps.

Good to hear TY Wayne

So next week after I get some cash, I'll head over to Walmart and probably get their generic form of Carefresh. If I can't find it, I'll just buy the 30l bag at petco for $15.
