Hi all,
I bought a large black plastic tub for my one-year-old sulcata and built a top for it to create a closed chamber. I let the tub heat up without substrate or tortoise in it (checking the thermostat). When I opened the lid, a really strong plastic smell hit me in the face. I'm nervous about exposing my tort to nasty gases.
Any ideas on tubs and possible toxins they might release?
(I left the tub outside for a month and yet it still stinks.)
