    Smells

    What do you guys do to keep smells down? I've been thinking of keeping charcoal in a stocking in a BP's cage to see how it works.

    Don't argue with an idiot, they'll drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.

    Other than cleaning out any soiled aspen ASAP, nothing really, but then again, the snakes have their own room so to speak so a little odor is no big concern to me.

    Nothing, my herp room has very little smell, and what smell I have is mostly dirt-earthy smell from the planted terrariums.

    Clean cages shouldn't really smell. Check the cage to see what part is causing the stink. Maybe there's a wet spot going sour? A missing clump of poo?

    Snakes do have a odor unique to them, but you shouldn't really notice it outside of sticking your face to the cage, unless the cage is soiled somehow.

    It doesn't stink up room. I do keep it clean. The only time I can smell anything is when I open the plexiglas door.
