Anyone know a good way of claening CS poop off of a log?

I use the 1/2 log hides in both of my enclosures and my adult male has just gone to town on his. (the female is much cleaner.
It seems as if this guy just lifts his tail and blasts away with the white stuff. I find it on the glass at the top of the tank, or smeared all over the aspen.)

Anyway, the log hide is now covered with white poops (not the lumpy brown ones), and I need a way to clean it. It's made from real log, not the simulated plastic ones that you find for aquatic turtles, so soaking it in water is out.

I thought aboot using a cleaning brush, but that would probably just strip the bark off after a couple of times. I know you breeders just use cardboard boxes or tubes so that you can throw them away when you're done, but these are my show cases and I like them to look nice.

use a toothbrush and hot water...........

That is a great idea! It's such a small brush that it wouldn't be too harsh on the wood.

Does it make the brush taste funny?

Sorry to get off topic on this, but i notice that the eggs in that pic are laying on their side. How do you know what end is up when you place them in your incubating medium? Thanks

but if not their is no normal top or bottom. the top is the srea facing up after the snake is done laying her eggs. you should place them in the medium the way they are laid meaning the same orientation.
now a side note dont be too concerned on if you move them too much or the orientation changes slightly. i and many others have found that their is no truthto the statement "you cant change the orientation of the eggs once they are laid" i have had a complete incubator get nocked over and the eggs flipped over completely and this was a month in and i had a 100% hatch rate. also henry dean did a experiment where he turned eggs at differant intervals to see if their was any ill effects-none.
