Re: Smell
open a window and plug in a fan and give it a couple of hours.

agreed, good ventilation, maybe spray a little bit of fabreez on the floor, but spray it close to the floor so it doesnt get in the cages

Re: Smell
Try some baking soda in with the shavings, and some ventalation. Or try getting some ASFS. They still smell, but not like mice. I got rid of all of my mice, couldn't stand the smell.

Re: Smell
A good high CFM centrifugal or similar type fan would give much better ventilation and not sacrifice room temperature.
Edit: You might need to make a cheap noise reduction box to cover the fan though. Or just go with a carbon filter and don't vent to the outside

imitation vanilla does work wonders, are you not using enough? I have been breeding mice for 2 years and i literally make the water dark brown with it and it works awesome, i also see no difference in breeding

Dont use baking soda as it will be transferred to the snakes. Imitation Vanilla may work one one or 2 mice, but get a lot and adding to water systems will just be a bacteria nightmare.
Use Pine Pellets and change often. 3 times a day i open window and vent it out for 10 mins at time. Cant go too long as snakes are in same room and dont want it to cool too much.
