Does anyone use a air purifier in thier snake rooms?
I'm looking for a HEPA air purifier to put in my BP room. Right now I'm leaning toward this model:Hoover Air Purifier with TiO2 Technology - WH10600
It's also got a UV light that sterilizes the air as it passes through.
Now I'm not expecting any huge health benefits for the BP's by using a air purifier, but I don't think it could hurt, would give me some piece of mind and maybe it will help keep the rat smell down some (although I only keep a few feeders at a time so it's not bad at all).
Maybe I'm just being overcautious, but does anyone know of any dangers to the BP's by using a HEPA air purifier (one that doesn't produce any ozone) in the snake room?
this sounds like a stupid question as I read over this but with the personal investment I've made with my BP's I figure it's worth asking just to be sure.
(edit) Please excuse the misspelling in the title.

I thought about getting an air purifier before I got my snakes. After I had my snakes for a few months the smell wasn't bad so I didn't think the investment was worth it.
However, If I expand my rat breeding I probably would consider getting one because they create a stench. Even if I keep them outside in the garage I would still want to get one. But from what I hear it's not as bad as the stench from mouses.

Yes...I have had them since I first starting keeping snakes.
I have a bunch of Oreck XL's all around my house that are pretty nice...
I also have the Oreck Pro Shield Plus with the UV light in my Snake Room...This one is my favorite!

Thanks for the input guys. Next paycheck I'll be ordering a HEPA air purifier for the snake room.

I have a hepa air filter in my snake room, helps circulate the air as well as the fan blows straight up.

Well, my BP is in my bedroom. My allergies are ALWAYS acting up, though, so maybe I should consider for the both of us. I go through a box of kleenix twice a week at my worst.
