 Posted: Tue Oct 02, 2007 11:05 am Post subject: leo toilet habits and cleaning? |
 |
|
sorry again!
my leos are doing great really healthy and getting used to climbing onto me when I open their tank..
firstly is it normal that they pick a toilet spot and all use it to go for number twos? very useful as they have picked a spot right where its easy to scoop out.
the other thing is the viv is starting to smell of pee, is there some easy way to clean this out and will it be in the same spot as the poops?
I have sand as a substrate and do have spare but just want to ask if there are any simple ways to clean this out or do I need to do the whole lot reguarly?
cheers again, hopefully this be my last question for a while! |

I tend to spot clean the toilet corner daily, removing all sand from that area, then i find a full clean out once a month does fine

how did you train them to do that?
would be nice if I could get them to pee in the same spot too |

ahhh good skills, I will give that a go, although its pretty handy that they are already doing the business in one spot only, after scooping out the sand it doesnt smell of pee anymore so it must have just been the one spot! |
