Python Smell

[Colin Vestrand]

it's been said plenty of times, but because i get this question all the time i gotta say, mammals smell way more than reptiles do.

Cool. Thanks guys. I'm glad to hear the one person say they have it right next to thier bed becuase I already had a spot next to my wifes side of the bed picked out for its cage.

Just had to throw that out there becuase I'm linking her to this thread.

It will probably be a couple months before I'm ready for one, so I have some time to work her over.

Yeah, our daughter has a large pet rat.
It smelled quite a bit until we found a bedding that seems to absorb all the smell. I'd imagine a snake would be the same (as far as finding a neutralizing bedding).

Clean enclosure. No smell.

My wife has been more than gracious with my hobby but she drew the line on a boa in the bedroom with her. She really wasn't ugly about it - just put her foot down. Hope you have better luck!

I have 15 in my bedroom. No smells. Unless they have soiled their tubs. Then I get up at all hours of the morning to clean them up.

If the cages are clean they don't really have a smell. However, I do think that when you heat the room up to 80 degrees you emphasize the smell.

Being a woman and thinking about it as his hobby and not mine. I would DEFINITELY say no if he was planning to put it on MY side of the bed. No way....

I think you should re think where you want to put the cage, ESPECIALLY if you really want your wife to say yes.

i use newspaper. then all you have to do is take the paper out, wipe it down with a little disinfectant, and you're good to go.

I keep mine on newspaper, and i put a sheet of plain white paper on that so i can see when the snake has "gone to the toilet" pretty much straight away, and clean it out. I'd say Royal pythons make very clean pets, now my corn, he's mr stinky lol..well he was until he escaped
