plan to keep it that way. I have read that there isn't anything that can be passed from a snake to a human but I'm sure there are those that would disagree. I keep separate sponges and wash cloths, separate towels for drying, etc. I would never take the risk of exposing my family to some bacteria or infection from a snakes feces in a water bowl. As it is, about once a month all the water bowls are placed into a 5 gallon bucket of salt water and bleach and soaked for 24 hours. Then they are scrubbed and rinsed. Boxes/tubs are cleaned on a regular basis with soap. I have extra boxes /tubs to swap out. After breeding season they get washed with a soap and bleach solution once a month in addition to their regular cleaning. I just consider this part of having a clean collection.
