How do you clean snakes curled up next to feces?

Occationally my Boa likes to curl up inside her Terra Cotta pot with her feces inside the pot. After cleaning up the mess do I have to wash the snake as well???

I will just rinse mine off under the faucet if it's that bad and they smell. I don't use any kind of soap or anything.

my little zoo:
jungle carpet python
2 corns
honduran milk
sonoran gopher
2 anoles
3 fire bellie toads
4 cats
2 dogs

I usually wipe mine down with a warm, damp washcloth at each cage cleaning.
