Silly Reptiles

[sidneymysnake]

Why is it that every single time I clean the cages the next day there's a present waiting for me? Drives me nuts. Is it just me or do others have reptiles rallying against them too?

 

[manlyfish]

reptiles crap because you feed them

Yup...it always seems that my Pyxie Frog loves to crap in a clean enclosure, lol.

That always happens.. right after I clean BAM snake crap.

see, the trick is to clean it right after they crap.

Clean enclosure = healthier and more comfortable which lends itself to regularity.

Mine always do that. the best way to avoid this is to do spot cleanings and instead of cleaning the whole cage out at once, do it in parts and replace a little bit of the substrate at the time.

thats what i do, with a bi-monthly whole cage cleaning. (for the rosy boa anyways)

once a year i will do a full cleaning but they don't really need it more than that if you can keep up with them.

My burmese, red tail boa, and rainbow boa always crap in their pool.
And yes, right after I changed water.
But then I change water every other day, so changes are..

I had to take crap/pee samples to my LRS for parasite check, but all dens were clean!
Now I take them in person to my LRS next thursday.
Im not gonna wait for some..

Question: Do snakes (and all herps) need a second treatment against a worminfection, about two weeks apart?
I believe my LRS but I'd like to hear from you all.
