>>How do you guys clean your boas when they have crap and urine all over them? I was thinking of soaking them in a mild solution of dawn dish soap (unscented). Would this be fine for their health?



I've used light dish soap(Dawn) with Boas. Its also an older and suggested treatment for snake mites. The soap bubbles don't allow mites to attach to an air bubble in the water. Allowing more thorough drowning of mites. I've never read of any adverse affects to Boas from soap.

Just straight water will work fine as Dave suggested as well though.
