Ts in vacinity of deodorant

[Curious jay]

Hi

Well I have my Ts in my room I was just wondering if I use my deodorant in the same room ( not sprayed at the T/tanks) is there any concern that this could harm my Ts I mean it contains no pesticides etc but it obviously has a lot of chems in the mix, so yea is deodorant usage in the same room as my Ts harming them?

Well logically it doesn't sound like a good idea to use it in the same room does it? So best to err on the side of caution and not too.

Yea I wouldn't risk it. The only good thing that can come out of it is that they might smell a little better.

Don't spray it directly on them and you should be good to go. My Ts live in my room where I spray all sorts of things from cleaner to deodorant. I just avoid direct contact.

How long have you had your collection? Had mine for 2 months or so so it's to early to tell of any negative effects, but there still eating molting etc fine but I'll avoid it to be 100% safe

My partner sometime absent mindedly spays deodorant in the same room as the T's. I then run around like a maniac opening every window in the flat.

I wouldn't want to risk my T's health to be honest, even though they are pretty hardy.

Longest current T is close to a year. I had a G rosea in my room for a few years as a kid and did quite a few crazy things in there besides spray deodorant and it was fine. I think people get a little too carried away with how careful they are with these things. I'm sure a lot of people have a spider living somewhere in their bathroom anyway!

That stuff can give me headaches from the other side of the house, I can imagine what it "could" do to an animal that size in the same room.
