cleaning/maintanence

tokayjim Jan 12, 2007 05:05 PM

I'm wondering what you all suggest for a cleaning maintance schedule. I will basically have one juvie (2-3 months crested) in a 12x12x18 enclosure.

How often should the tank be completely cleaned (ie:. remove crestie and clean everything)?

What do you all use to clean the regular poop and to disinfect?

How do you guys keep up with their mess? My leopard goes in the same spot, but the crested seems to go everywhere?

I spot clean my cresties' cages every few days for poop and dead crickets. Then every 2-3 weeks I completely clean every thing. I normally just use water, and sometimes I use a cleaner called Advantage. Its supposed to be pet-safe and it work for cleaning just about everything.
