What are your thoughts on this? My room got a squirt with it today the febreeze stuff..
Not sure if this will affect snakes? the window was open at the time and the smell quickly went.
Hmm.  |

Just checking! |

| Bet you don't think twice about spreying lynx or whatever in your room? Aslong as it's not directed at them can't see it being a problem. |

| I know that there have been concerns with the Glade plug-ins in the same room as reptiles. I would be careful personally not to use too much and not near the vivs. |

| Something else that I never thought about. I would've thought with the viv being closed in the air freshners would not be a problem |

Since we bought Slinx- I have banned ALL sprays from our room- because I thought that they would be bad for her..? |

I do. I hang out the window when spraying myself. 
It's just short two squirts with the air freshener. not directed at the vivs, mainly on my sofa. 
It's not a glade plug in, however I've got a motion sensor whatsit, but it doesn't even work. |

| Ever since I started an animal collection I stopped spraying deodderant and any air freshners, the most I do is throw some talc on the floor when I hoover. Not sure if that would affect them though |

I think we're all going a bit over the top here! I would say as long as you dont directly spray the animal (any animal) with anything then it should be fine to use most products in a normal way around the house! Corn snakes and indeed most types of snake when they are in the wild deal with things far worse than air freshener and deoderant! Air polution/water polution bush and forrest fires the list is endless. I'm not saying you shouldn't be careful but don't take it to extremes. Unless of course you are howard hughes and enjoy sterile living?.............Bet you never gave a second thought to the hamster/rat/gerbil/dog/cat etc and why are they any different?
I bet theres a few people out there who enjoy having a fag in and around the house????

I don't tend to do much different in regards things like this, my snakes aren't where they stand a great chance of getting chemicals from smellies etc into the viv.
I'd be more worried about the fact they are nearly opposite my bathroom door, the day after a good baked bean curry...........
I have 2 teenage girls in the flat, the amount of hairspray that gets used in here is incredible sometimes, but there's also the sensible element to it. I don't see the issue with using sprays in the same room as a viv, obviously unless someone wanted to use the entire bottle and not have windows/doors open.
Excessive use of chemical sprays/smellies in a poorly ventilated room with ANY animal could potentially be bad.
A quick spray of your brut/lynx etc shouldn't cause any problems.
