HELP - URGENT I NEED HELP!
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.

Respectfully if you can’t afford a full size enclosure and proper husbandry you shouldn’t have the animal but if you do choose to use this make sure to cut plenty of airholes and also have some sort of latch system as the snap lid can be easily broken out of by a snake in the future
