    air quality related question

    I have seen that ther is a large amount of dust that settles on thesnake tubs and such other places in my repetile room I was wondering if thisis a common issue and such. I can wipe the entire room down wit ha dampl cloth and go back an hour - a day later and still have a lot of it on the surfaces, this is not a problem in other rooms at all.

    I have access to a air purifier but I was wondering if it running ( motot turning) would possible cause issue for the snakes since i would be left to run all ther time ( since i can set the out going air would blow against my space heater coils to help heat the entire room better since it lacks a fan ( old radirator type in looks )..

    I don't think an air purifier would be a bad idea. I don't think it running 24/7 would have a negative effect on the snakes.

    You are always going to have some dust though, it is unavoidable.

    Re: air quality related question

    cool I just using a single room type if i can get it out of the atic and it works still. I ok on humidity since thetubs use lids and the water bowls are creating enough humidity that it condenses on the cool side of the tub( side that faces out)... I was worried that it the running ( vibration would cause some issues. so I am glad to hear not so far..
