if it's in good condition then leave it, but if there's scratches, wrinkles, or any other signs of "wear and tear" then you should definitely replace it

The egg approves!
If the snare works and sounds good once you replace the top head leave the bottom head alone. If you don't have experience changing one, if you've never changed one you could cause yourself problems. Just my opinion.
question about snare side head (bottom head on snare)...
The bottom head shouldn't need replacing as frequently as the top (batter) head unless you have the snares too tight against the bottom...
if you play like this dudeit's easy to tear up the bottom head quickly
...but for most of us, you shouldn't have to...
keep the beat goin' ... Don't keep it to yourself!

My set came with a Remo clear UT on the bottom of the snare. Although it is a lower quality head it does a fine job on the bottom of the snare drum. The only time I can see where replacing it might make a difference is in a recording studio.
