Sounds like a sweet little guy. I avoid spraying anything around the snakes, because IMO preventative care is a lot cheaper than vet bills, and who knows what chemical might irritate them or cause a bad reaction. You should have seen my hubby's face after I blocked him from febeezing the snake room after Cornelia did a particularly smelly poo, it was awesome. But Cyclodextrins (the active molecules in Febreze) can make insoluble molecules become water soluble, and thus potentially bioactive when ingested. There hasn't been enough research into a lot of the chemicals that we come into contact with every day (BPA anyone?) that are potential endocrine disruptors, so I avoid it whenever possible for both myself and my animals.
