I just cleaned ammy's viv out fully for the first time as I have now had him for a month. Is it normal for the aspen to be quite smelly? Its didn't smell foul or anything but it certainly wasn't pleasant. I spot clean daily and anything that gets pooped on is disinfected right away. should be cleaning the viv out more often?
I also weighed him today and he was now 353g, he has gained 16g in a month. Is this about normal? He is 15 months old now.

it's prolly some liquid urates that you've missed that are making the smell, how often you clean out depends on how clean your individual snake is

cornsnakes, ratsnakes, bullsnakes, boas and day geckos

As GP said, probably missed poo lol. I use Auboise and find it to have a kind of nice but not strong farmy smell. When the corns are nearing a clean it can be quite pongy with the poo. Specialy missed poo left cooking on a mat.. xp



A very special super, duper thanks for K :3
