Oh I forgot, you change your tank substrate everytime your snakes takes a dump. I clean them thourghly every couple if weeks but hey, you think you know everything I do.

Where is this coming from?

I don't think I said anything to offend you, I just said to get rid of the bacteria you have to use soap or detergent.

I used to when I used papertowels and newspaper. These days I just use loose substrate such as cocohusk. Everytime my snakes go to the bathroom I just scoop it out. Every month or so the substrate layer gets too thin so I just completely take everything out, clean the cage and refill it with new substrate.
