Maintenance questions

[imd12nv]

So Im fairly new to the hobby bought my first T about 4 months ago now I have 7 T's. My question is what kind of routine maintenance should be done to a T's enclosure. I check every day and remove any poop as well as add water and wet substrate as needed. anything else?

Welcome to the addiction!!!!

Sounds like you're on top of things already.....probably a bit more so than others. I spot-check daily, and add water to the dishes / sub when needed. I prefer to clean out the poop right after a feeding....as I'm removing boluses or uneaten prey. Oh yeah...clean your waterdishes weekly, or every time you see a drowned prey item. You don't want algae and bacteria building up in there.

I check daily for mold/bolus'/uneaten food. I mist depending on species and change any water dishes once a week.

Other than that... try to keep an eye out for mites. If there are many, try decreasing your misting for a while. It's better to err on the dry side than wet.
