I appreciate the input. I guess I'm gonna just have to keep things as clean as I can and hopefully she'll get over it. I had 3 snakes last Christmas when she and her husband offered me a place to live, and the first question was, "can I bring my snakes?" to which they said yes. I guess it's just foreign to her nose. I've got my bleach solution for cleaning. Are there any methods of making the room smell nice that I should avoid that may harm my animals? I want to stay away from candles because there are some days where I leave at 6am and don't come home until 10pm.
