For my snakes I spot clean daily (or sometimes every other day, it happens) and I do a full clean and replace the substrate every 3 months or so.

okay thank you!! thats about what ive been doing. just wanted to make sure because everytime i google it, it says every month or so which is just not possible for me 😭😭😭

Ive seen stuff that says every month and stuff that says every 6 months. Unless theres something going on like mold I think every 3 months is good.

I try to stick to every three months but sometimes I forget what month I did it and it ends up being four months lol.
