In today's video, we're going over how to clean a snake enclosure. We'll talk about cleaning snake tubs, a PVC enclosure, cleaning tanks, and how to clean a bioactive vivarium. The whole snake room is getting cleaned today. See what my cleaning process is and check out some cool snakes while I'm at it.

First of all: thank you for all of your hard work on your videos. I just got my first BP yesterday and I love your content. I honestly don’t think I’ve seen anyone else on YouTube who seems to love the hobby as much as you. Your passion is very obvious!

[Gilbert-VR]

EASY SUB in depth explanation, description has all the products, humor, and editing skills. HOLY

[newforestmorphs]

I’m going to have to follow Kent’s lead and stay out of the way on cleaning day. Love the concept of snake play during cleaning time.

I found your channel today, and I want to say, man, you are awesome. Never stop what you're doing, you're amazing at what you're doing

[mohudson]

I totally just found this vid by accident but this dude is hella cool and that Kent character was hella funny. Stayed thru the whole vid and I don’t even own snakes!! You rock bro. Subscribed 🐍🐍

[Amethiist]

Thank you so much, the only thing I was worried about before getting a snake was how to really make sure it’s clean for it but this covers it really well

[CARSONRMUSIC]

This is like if Jack Black showed me all I needed to know about snakes - it’s very entertaining 😂

[kitchin.gryphin]

I just found your channel while doing research in preparation to get my first ever snake, I can’t believe you don’t have more subscribers!

My pothos plants have been growing much better since adding Fluval (plant spectrum) lights to my cages. They are pricy but you can get by with the Nano size since it’s not the only light source. I also love the gradual day/night light cycle feature. Makes the cages look amazing at dawn and dusk!

[caroldemaio]

Thank you so much for showing what you do in the bioactive. That's what I have and was wondering how "deep" to deep clean. The isopods and springtails seem to be doing a great job. Thanks so much for all you do.

Thanks to the pandemic and having little kids I got a UV box to sterilize things for them and realized I could use it for my snake too! haha. So, after washing her water bowl I will put it in the box for a cycle, and things like cork bark and ropes etc. I also put in there for 3 cycles. Its working well for things that I can't easily wipe off or worry about if the spray is penetrating enough. I use hydrogen peroxide veterinary wipes for hard surfaces and glass and dawn where I can. Also, cell phone and keys, lol. Anyway, great episode so glad you have your brother to help you out with all the chores.

Thanks for all the great content Bob! I really appreciate your chill and thoughtful vibe, and your genuine care for helping people be great snake parents.

ive been bingeing your videos lately and all have great info I've learned a lot just recently watched your video on getting BPs back on food and am hopeful I can get my big girl back on food its been a little over a month and hopefully she stops hiding from her food... that being said I crack up in almost every video you make cause you make a joke or say something and you remind me of David Cross haha keep up the good work and look forward to future videos

After watching one of Lori Torrini’s videos, I stopped cleaning *everything* in Marie and Darwin’s enclosures and I leave their scent on a couple of things, when doing a full clean. Like you said, you can go back in a week or so and clean those items. I have to tell you that Marie is so funny. She’s super nosey and sleeps with her head facing out, when in her hides. The minute I walk in their room, POP!, out comes her head. If I’m in there for longer than 5-10 seconds she’s got 4-6 inches of herself coming out of the hide!! She’s ALWAYS hungry now. Even 2 days after she ate. I’m sure that’s why she’s coming out, I have just decided to think it’s all about me. Lmao! 🐍❤️🐍
Kent……You could always do a video on cleaning your corner! That would be a riveting, exciting video!!

Watched the intro idk how many times😂😂😂🖤 SNAKE JANITOR✨️✨️👐👐✨️👐✨️✨️

[madsxolotl]

Loved it as usual! Could you make a detailed cleaning video specifically for bioactive enclosures?

[LoriTorrini]

Two things. Kent, 1988 seriously? I graduated from highschool in 1988 and we had that same VHS camera but then the future got here and did you know you can take video with your phone? Bob, nice job remembering to mention for shy or fearful snakes to doing cleaning in stages! Always having some of their own familiar scent present is super important to help them feel safe.

[jemina]

THANK YOU! Cleaning is super important ♡
Im so much in love with Kent and his adoprable problems. 😄 How did you "found" Him? I bet he truely still lives with mom. 😅

[DaRealMoogyBoogy]

Awesome awesome content, love the video. I have a Marbled Childrens Python and they are my first snake, coming up 4 months old, I love checking multiple channels and sources just to see what people do differently, never did i expect to ENJOY a cleaning video as much as I did, GREAT STUFF!!! (The snakes Name is Rykard, if anyone was wondering :) )

[keithharper]

Thanks for the vid - entertaining and informative as always. We are quite enjoying the "like" and "subscribe" symbols popping up in odd spots - we have taken to trying to predict where they are going to appear in each video. And thanks for the tip about cleaning shy snakes' enclosures in stages - we'll give that a try with Sarge and Dr. J.O.A.N. We did a full cleanout when we installed the RUB doors, and while Raymond and Ambassador Noodle weren't at all bothered, Sarge and Dr. Joan of Ark No! have been spending more time in their hides since the cleanout.
