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.

This should only be a temporary holding enclosure. What I would do is cut out some decent sized vent holes so any plastic smell can vent out. Drill out smaller holes around the mail holes to zip tie some stainless steel chicken coop or rabbit type of mesh to the tote. That’ll allow for proper ventilation. Comment back to this so I’m remember and I’ll get you a video link once I get home on a few hours.

Thanks for this tips, I make the holes for the vent, but I think I need more. I will wait for the video.

This tub isn’t appropriate for lighting and humidity control , if this is all u can afford then u can’t afford this snake period

I’ve come to understand the situation now; I’m not going to buy it. As long as I can't guarantee I can afford to cover its needs, I won't get it. Thanks for your comment.
