"Rescued" a group of ball pythons, have a few questions.

I was about to joke that he was making meth...

x2 i was gunna make the same joke! Thats scary stuff. Thank you for the info David!

I use F-10. It has a pretty mild smell. Hardly any smell once diluted. I honestly don't think it could possibly give off that strong of a smell.

x2 I've never even noticed a smell with dilute F10, and I've had the nebulizer running in the same room.

I use the F-10. And notice a slight smell to it. but certainly not what you described, unless he sprayed
it all over his house- gallons of it, right before you arrived.
Once it dries, I can't smell it anymore.

I don't have enough experience with snakes to offer you any other tips or info.
but just want to say "kudos" to you, for taking on such a big task. I sure hope you can breed
them in the future and make some money- you certainly deserve it, after taking on this big of a rescue.

Good luck- hope they are all healthy and in new rack/ homes soon!

Was the sweet smell like cough syrup? If so, he was definitely cooking. And I can guarantee that everything you received is coated in its residues.

Keep the room well ventilated. Those chemicals can cause respiratory infections IN HUMANS. Be very careful with your electricity procedures. If you can smell it, it's very flammable.

In the meantime maybe a sealant on the racks for now could help contain the chemicals. But again, you'd have to be careful when applying that around the snakes.

There is a surprisingly large amount of meth-smelling-knowledge amongst the users on this site...

Well, the first poster had a very good explanation..

What exactly are you implying? Also how does your post help out the OP in anyway?

Knowledge is power.

[Andybill]

Well having seen how he keeps his snakes I am sure that one day when he does come looking for a morph you would not provide him with one... If it were me I could not provide an animal to someone who I know will not care for the animal properly.

That the amount of knowledge that suddenly came forth was comical. And the post didn't help the OP, much like your post asking how my post helped didn't help. Like how this post about how your post about my post not helping is also not helping.
