Another corn snake question

I don't think the Nope Noodle likes living with me. She has bitten me once (not a big deal) when I was changing her water-- or as I like to call it the Cement Pond.

Anyhow---she shed, and her owner told me to wait a few days to feed her.

I went and bought some Disgusting Frozen Rodents.

She has had three small ones now. (yes, I thawed them).

What next? How disgusting is it going to be when she poops?

You can see the food bulge in her body. Don't disturb her while she is clearly still digesting	tblue37	Jul 2020	#4

I cleaned out their aquarium. It was no big deal--and that's with 4 snakes, not 1.

I would put the snakes in another, smaller aquarium with some other rocks and then take the aquarium outside. The rocks (which of course included their little poops) went into a bucket. Then I cleaned both the rocks and the aquarium with mild sudsy water and rinsed very, VERY thoroughly.

I used a colander to drain the water from the rocks, then let the rocks and the aquarium dry on a towel in the sun for a bit. When they were dry, I put the rocks and the snakes back into the aquarium and put the smaller "holding" aquarium away. I cleaned the holding aquarium every 6 weeks, since they spent less than an hour in it each week.
