Cleaning habitat

[bannana]

I got bannana a week ago now he is a baby yellowfoot he is only 3 inches and I was wondering how often I should clean his habitat I pick up his poop everytime I see it and I was wondering about mold and stuff on his cypress mulch I have a fogger on it all the time so it is constantley wet.

I change out or spray out the substrate once a month, or more depending on the amount of tortoises. Since ou only have one, once a month would be sufficient, as long as you pick up any droppings you see.

Once a month is what I do also. If you don't want to touch it, change it.

Feces, urine spots and food wastes should removed constantly. Especially in a warm high humid enclosure where bacteria, mites and other "creepy crawleys" flourish. Not spot cleaning and just changing the substrate once a month is going to cause a bacteria and mold jungle. The high humidity and heat contained in an enclosed box is always going to be a hot bed for mold unless it has very good air exchange.
