RHP outgassing dangerous to snakes?

Ahh I see, that is unfortunate it's lasting so long here... I wonder how many more days are needed.

Considering I actually received these RHP's last November (just didn't set them up until now LOL) that is kind of strange.

It's been four days for me so far, and it's still producing very strong fumes especially in an enclosed space. I also did wipe mine down as well! I noticed that the smell came off on my hands/the paper towels initially when I wiped and smelled LOL

The RHP that Dragonhaus sends are these things: https://www.mypetchicken.com/catalog...6.aspx?pa=3445

And the weirdest thing is that two of the other ones I have aren't producing nearly as strong of a smell, at least nothing so noticeable. Just one keeps producing strong fumes.

Does anyone know if these fumes are actually dangerous to people/the snakes?

The fumes are definitely bad for people and pets - it might take a while to outgas them indoors so I'd strongly recommend moving outside if possible, or having them near an open window with a fan.

I initially tried to outgas indoors for a week but it wasn't helping so I unscrewed the top panel of the enclosure and took it along with the RHP outside. Had to outgas for another 72 hours+ outdoors for the smell to fully go away.

I was wondering what that smell was when I set up my cages last weekend... in my case it took about 24 hours to dissipate but yeah, gave me the worst headache in that room
