    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Substrates, and thier relationship to "STINK" ?

Have any of you guys or gals ever noticed a difference between substrates and how they smell after a snake has voided.What I am asking is,,does say, aspen do a better job than maybe cypress mulch,or what ever,in soaking up and cutting down on odors ?
I use cypress,,and that does nothing.When a snake goes,YOU know it :eek:
What are your choices, and why ?
 
I use Aspen Sani-chips. It is very easy to spot clean as the chips are small and when the animals eliminates you just take then waste and the chips around it and replace with new chips.

As for the smell, Aspen does have a distinct smell and it does help in the covering of the smell of the waste to a degree.
 
I am a Sani-Chips user myself. Love the stuff!!

There is nothing you are going to be able to use that will completely eliminate, or even heavily mask, the smell until you snag it and bag it and let the enclosure air out for a couple of minutes. Then the smell is pretty much gone.

I mean it is really no different than if you invited me over for dinner and I took a crap in the middle of your living room floor. Dont matter if it was hard wood floors, tile floors, thick shag carpeting, throw rug.... it is gonna smell until you snag it and bag it.

But I would leave the crap in place until the cops got there as evidence for why you had to shoot me.
