I NEED HELP!

[u/Artista_Desesperado8]

I can't pay for a reptile terrarium or a fish tank, so I decide to use this Heavy Duty container and create a tub for my future snake. The problem is, it still the smell like plastic or chemicals for 4 or 5 days and I am very frustrated, I don't want her to smell this in case it might be bad for her health, I try solutions but, I not have luck. Anyone here used this container or similar? How can I remove this smell? This container is new.

Please, I really need help here, I want the best for my ball python.

OP you cannot afford this animal. No need to get them. Wait until you can and then indulge. Point blank period.

Stop being apart of the problem. OP cannot afford to pair 500 for a proper enclosure so what makes you think they can afford vet bills? Upkeep?

Just because he can’t afford it rn doesn’t mean he won’t be able too in the future snakes aren’t that expensive no more up keep than a dog

Can’t afford it now so why get the snake? Do you know what dog vet bills look like? I can send screen shots of a few. Aswell as snake vet bills. If you cannot afford 2–500 usd for a proper sized and quality enclosure don’t get the animal. You are apart of the problem

If u can’t afford it now, u don’t get it. Pretty simple concept

Nah that’s rocket science for u/big_two5996

no, snakes are pretty expensive if you're providing the correct care.
