"I've never owned that particular brand of purifier, but I did own a very good one given to me by a good snake buddy many years ago, I don't have it anymore, and can't remember the Brand name now, but it worked on the exact same principle that yours does.

Mine seemed to work great with keeping down odor, although this ion process does seem to have a certain smell of it's own as well. Mine was adjustable, and you could smell these differences as the dial was gradually turned.

Any way, I used that for years with zero noticable effects on my many snakes(and mice/rat's) that were all in seperate rooms, with a machine in each one. That was my experience with them. There are MANY different one's on the market, and some will certainly work way better than other;s, depending on many different factors.

Thanks Doug, this one I'm looking at mentioned that it makes its own smell and to adjust the dial. Its good to know that it can be used without harm to the snakes. I'm definitely going to get one as no matter how clean I keep the tanks, in the confined space, 12x14', there is always kind of a musky musty odor that hits you when you walk in.

Didn't get that when the tanks where in the wide open basement, but then thier corner couldn't be heated either.



One other thing that I don't notice myself, but my when my dad visits he says he can smell it up stars. Thats not good.

Doug you've also mentioned that theres alot on the market, care to throw a few names out there that you think could be good?

Anyone else know of a good unit?

Mike.
