    RHP outgassing dangerous to snakes?

    I ordered three new enclosures from Dragonhaus with RHP's that the maker sold with his cages. One of them has a massive plastic fume coming from it, which I've confirmed is the RHP... For some reason, the other two are fine and the smell is minimal.

    I've googled and found that some people need to "outgas" their new RHP's, which I've never heard of :\ I've been having it on for around 24 hours so far, and the smell is still quite strong if I keep the enclosure doors closed after awhile.

    I should mention that I have a few other RHP's which have never had this problem before...

    Anyone have experience with this and how long you have to "outgas" for? Also, what exactly the smell is?
