Serious question, need opinions

Can you describe the enclosure set up? What is the heating source, how are temperatures measured, what are the temperature and humidity numbers?

Also both cedar and pine are toxic to snakes so there absolutely should not be any of that in the enclosures! The rule for snakes is no soft woods should be used. Stick with hard woods like cypress and aspen or use coconut husk.

I believe the snakes are in a VE rack system with flexwatt for belly heat, they use a herpstat to regulate the flexwatt. They keep it set for the hot spot to be 90°F and the cool side is 82°F, humidity is 60% and they're kept on coconut husk. No wood shavings are inside the snake tubs

My question was if the smell from the rats bedding could have caused an RI, they are on pine and cedar

EDIT: I just re read my original post and noticed I didn't specify that the Rats are on cedar and pine, the Snakes are on Reptichip
