i don't have the privilage to have a snake only/feeder only room, not the the two are in the SAME room but the townhouse is fairly open between rooms so a keen sense of smell IS going to detect the feeders even if they're in the basement as far as i'm concerned so i'm just seeking some other opinions on this, like are my balls gonna get all salty cause they're constantly smelling thier food? i'm completely positive i could've rephrased that. ANYWAYS....
