Odor in tank - what could it be/

Not an overpowering odor, but just enough so that it is noticeable, especially if the room door is closed and the smell builds up. It's not a burning smell and nothing funky, just a stuffy smell.



The tank is otherwise clean and is free of anything unusual (except my young jurassic milk). There are a couple wood pieces from petsmart and a water bowl. The substrate is a shredded cotton type material. However, this same odor also occurs when I use newspaper in the tank.



Could the media be creating the odor when heated by the overhead heat lamp?



Do other media types create any kind of odor?



Thanks, Tom
