It's been four days for me so far, and it's still producing very strong fumes especially in an enclosed space. I also did wipe mine down as well! I noticed that the smell came off on my hands/the paper towels initially when I wiped and smelled LOL

    The RHP that Dragonhaus sends are these things: https://www.mypetchicken.com/catalog...6.aspx?pa=3445

    And the weirdest thing is that two of the other ones I have aren't producing nearly as strong of a smell, at least nothing so noticeable. Just one keeps producing strong fumes.

    Does anyone know if these fumes are actually dangerous to people/the snakes?
    A quote right from that website:

    "The ODOR that is noted on a new heater is from the escalated final dry-ing of the lens material (fiberglass and adhesives) as the heat is applied. The odor is normal and will go away in a day or so as the new materials dry out."

    Pretty sure that kind of odor is Not good for you or the animals in an enclosed space
