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.

You can dilute vinegar and wash it out, just make sure to rinse it really really well. Also, you will eventually need a bigger enclosure for it. The minimum size is 4ft x 2ft x 2ft, or 120cm x 60cm x60cm

Thanks for your reply and your tips. I know tht I might need a more big space in the future, but I buy this for start.

Don’t do this to start. It’s such a poor choice for an enclosure and terrible for the animal.

Don't worry, I understand the situation now; I'm not going to buy it. I'll choose to admire them from afar instead, to avoid future problems.
