I understand where you're coming from. I try to keep all our snakes in attractive, natural looking set-ups, some with live plants. Sometimes it's so much work that I just wish I kept them in plastic tubs.

That is my choice to make, however, and how you keep your snake is yours. I have no problem with different approaches.

Have you thought about cage liners? They are disposable and cut to fit standard tank sizes, so they're not as bulky and easy to get underneath as newsprint . You can find them on the classifieds here on Kingsnake. Also, you could get a second reptile carpet. When one is dirty, switch it out, hose it off outside and let it air-dry. Takes you 5-10 minutes, tops.

As far as the water, sorry, but it has to be done a minimum of 2 times a week for your snake's well-being.

Hope I've given you some ideas to work with. Good luck and have fun!
