But its a good smell

Does anyone have any tips for keeping the Gecko Smell down. I clean my chages every day...they are in a rack system. I don't smell it but my wife does. I even have an air purifier in the room and the ceiling fan going. I am at a loss. Hope you can help.

Hmmm...never had a problem with my geckos smelling. Does your wife have a grudge against your geckos? lol J/k

Could she be smelling the feeders instead?

My mom says the same thing, i dont smell them but she does! Its just a way of them make us feel some kind of guilt or responsability. I dont know what it is, they just dont want the geckos!

Ever couple of months you need to scrub the entire cage with an antibacterial soap. Otherwise you can get that heavy reptile smell. Bigapple herps has a some an air purifier that collects the odor in a small bag.

I can't tell a smell either, hubby swears he can but he doesn't like the reptiles so I ignore him. Ive never had friends or family say they smell anything either.

I do a spot clean daily for poop then every couple of weeks run them through the dishwasher or hand wash them.

Thanks all. I do most of what has been mentioned, but Brian I will look into the Bigapple.

just thought id toss in my 2 cents worth, some people have mild allergies to crickets and roaches and the smell is agitating to them and they seem to be more sensitive to the smell even if they don't puff up if one gets on them.

My husband can't walk passed the gecko room without making a comment. Occasionally I can smell something - the crickets - but usually I have no idea what he's talking about. I'm going to have to move the crickets to the garage, I guess.

Fresh air helps. My gecko room is very small & I do notice a slight smell when I open up the door in the morning. But there is no smell if the air is allowed to circulate.
