How many times should I clean out my King Snake's cage?

Question

Alright, I'm new to keeping a snake, and I've got a California King Snake. I have put aspen in the aquarium, but I'm not sure how often I should change it, or how many times I need to clean out the entire habitat. Can someone give me the proper way to clean out the cage, and how often I should do it? Any advice is welcome! :]

Well you don't really need to change it to often. I usually just take the p**p out of the cage/tank. And only change it when it smells bad and if it doesn't smell bad for a month then I would change the cage at the end of the month.

The proper way to clean it is to bleach the whole cage down(try not to use complete bleach....mix it with water too) I haven't bleached any of my cages ever since I've gotten them, unless one of my snake is sick then I would.

If you have any more question feel free to email me! I would be more then happy to help you out! Good luck on your new pet! Hope you love him as much as I love mine =]
