Summer time the snake room reaches 88 if Central air is off. So i run a fan to suck out smells if needed. But the pine pellets in winter give me good 7 days between cleanings and in summer i get 4 days..
if i lived down south and had a nice garage to keep outside problems away from my snakes food id keep them outside to free up the space for more snakes. But being in Michigan and getting -10F i cant do that..
One you try the pine pellets youll never go back to shavings...
