I have to take Mari with me on vacation in August because we will be gone for a few weeks. Recently she broke out of her enclosure (I made the front door out of a piece of acrylic hot glued to some lego hinges and technic bricks with a lego rod to make it lock, lol. I just use my biology textbook as a weight to keep the door from opening, but when I forget is when she poops on my floor!) and took a saucy poop on my white shag rug, which I was REALLY upset with her about because 50% of my room is hardwood floor and she chose the 50% that is difficult to clean, lol. As "punishment," I said "Okay, you're coming with me to go get the shampooer from [my grandma]'s house!" (Common punishment in my family, lol. I also just wanted to take her with me somewhere.)
I put her in a plastic travel cage originally meant for birds, strapped it to the seat with the seatbelt, and put Mari inside. On our way back, I heard "pbbbbbbt" and the whole car immediately smelled like beardie poop. I wasn't very happy, but she was in her travel enclosure, so she didn't taint the interior of my car with any of her excrement, thankfully. (Though I could hear that she immediately started wall surfing, but I was like "I'm driving, I can't take you out, Poo-casso!")
Anyways, now that I am going to have to take her on the road for real this time, I'm afraid she's going to stink up the entire car again because traveling makes her a bit stressed out. (Also she "anger poops" because she learned that if she poops in whatever container I have her in temporarily (i.e. a kritter keeper just to weigh her - Yes, I tare the Kritter Keeper first, lol) that I will immediately take her out. (Bearded dragons are NOT stupid, lol!) I have Poo Pouri because the gold catalyst in it helps to neutralize the sulfuric smell in poop, but the problem is that the majority of poop smell comes from methane, which is CH4, and gold does not do anything to methane. Does anyone know anything I can use to neutralize the odor if she does stress poop in the car? (Obviously we'd pull over and take care of this at a rest stop, using the hose thingy at the truck stop to hose out her cage if we can sneak our suburban into the truck part, lol. She won't make any contact with any chemicals, I promise!)
