Most odor absorbent substrate

[Freakie_frog]

I love the way my room smells with all new aspen in 100+ tubs. Anything you house more than one or two animals in the same place you're going to get an oder. Heck that's why you clean your house is to keep the smell of people and pets down. LOL I vote aspen.

How about some baking soda to absorb some odors?
I too am trying to figure out a way to make 20+ snakes completely smell free.

The feeder rodents will most likely stink worse than the snakes, as they "go" much more often.

Maybe it's not your stinky balls that smell

Thanks everyone. I have ASFs only, which are on a thick layer of aspen with zeolite sprinkles and they get a full bedding change every five days, so it's not them. The mazuri has a bit of smell, but there's not much I can do about that.

I guess I'll switch the snakes over to aspen and see how it goes.

Stink is like pain. It lets you know something is wrong. That being said, if at all possible try better ventilation of the room. Have some sort of exhaust blowing out of the room either from a fan in the window or through a vent.

Odor absorbing beads are nice:

It's cheaper in wal-mart, actually. I have one in my room, and the room smells nice.

Hubby has already informed me that the vent thing is happening when we buy a new house in a few months (for those who remember my moving sadness, I don't have to move to VA anymore! We're staying in AZ ) The tricky part is how to vent it in an energy efficient way. It's not a big deal in "winter" (high of 75 out today lol), but since we're in Phoenix I'm loathe to send nice cool air outside during the ten months of the year that the A/C is running. Hopefully this will become a non-issue once they're on aspen, but on the current paper set-up that man can smell a single urate through the door.

Hmm, I might get some of those for the rest of the house. I've been letting my pups sleep out of their crates and the couch smells like dog* now.

* I happen to like the way my dogs smell, I wash them with puppy shampoo every week. But hubby has only had one pet in his entire life which was a tiny hamster, so my animal hoarding is a bit overwhelming for him.

You can use pine for you rodents. Less cost, absorbs odors better, and isn't the evil monster everyone makes it out to be. I even use it on a bunch of my larger snakes.
