I dont do a full cleanout every month, every time she poops or he, i just spray this stuff on it, wait a minute and wipe it up. it kills bacteria and makes the cage not smell like crap.

I clean mine out once a week. I take the tiles out and wash them, refill the water dish and the calcium dish, and spray teh humid hides.

WHEN EVER THERE IS GECKO WASTE YOU SHOULD CLEAN IT UP. WOULD YOU LIKE TO FLUSH YOUR TOILET ONCE A WEEK.

>>WHEN EVER THERE IS GECKO WASTE YOU SHOULD CLEAN IT UP. WOULD YOU LIKE TO FLUSH YOUR TOILET ONCE A WEEK.

No need for all capital letters. I wonder where your opinion on the subject comes from. I honestly wonder if you work for PETA. It's just not feasible for me to sit and watch for my leos to crap so that I can immediately clean it up. My leos are always kept in a clean envirnment, likely a lot cleaner than anything they would encounter in the wild.

With my mini rampage complete, my leos are cleaned once a week, with full cleaning and bleaching of the bins once a month. Obviously this is an estiamte, and some leos require more often cleaning while some smaller ones less. Either way I do dishes and refill calcium, spray hides, ect every few days as needed.

Kayle you dont need to use capitals.

I clean the water dish every day and wipe down where my gecko poops,i wipe down the tiles tank once a week with just water then once a month i clean with a bleach solution.
