Re: how many times do you need to clean your terraria per month
Spot clean as needed varies depending on species. My king vs my boa is very different. Complete cleaning every 2 months or so.

Thanks for reminding me...my CP's home needs a cleanup this morning! This just after feeding on Wednesday and a shed on Thursday.

Re: how many times do you need to clean your terraria per month
Like Blaze I spot clean as necessary and do a complete cage cleaning every 2 months or so. And like Scuba, I have to clean cages today  .

Re: how many times do you need to clean your terraria per month
Rarely to never. Joys of being predominantly bioactive. Those vivs that are naturalistic as opposed to do bio get a full substrate change every 6 months. Spot cleaned the rest of the time.

Re: how many times do you need to clean your terraria per month
For bioactive setups never yet, for conventional setups a full bedding change gets done once every 4-8 weeks.

Re: how many times do you need to clean your terraria per month
Depends on the species and the individual. My sand boas get cleaned out fully once every two months. The rat snake gets cleaned out once every two weeks usually. I spot clean in between and really just clean it out once they've effectively soiled it.

For a giant, I could understand a full substrate change, but not for my midsize varieties!
