Hi All,
Been a while, but I'm looking for a little advice here. I work for a big university and because of this the bulk of the other people living in my apartment complex are college students (as I live close to work). Marijuana was also legalized in my state relatively recently, and my new neighbors - I don't know which ones - are apparently massive smokers.
Now this wouldn't be a big issue for me except for the fact that it seems to be effecting Guacamole's respiratory health. Every week on Thursday and Friday they seem to smoke for the entire two days, stinking up, as far as I can tell, the entire apartment complex. My whole apartment reeks as badly as it would if I myself smoked (I don't, mostly out of courtesy to my partner who despises smoking), and the hallway outside is even worst.
During the weekly smoke-athon, I've noticed that Guacamole almost always makes little huffing/sneezing noises throughout. He never does this when the complex doesn't reek of pot, but it seems pretty obvious that he's having some kind of reaction to the miasma my neighbors create and I'm terrified of the extra stress eventually causing an RI.
I have an appointment with my reptile vet to get a new Ball Python I purchased checked out as soon as the stay-at-home order ends, and I plan to ask her about the issue as well while I'm there, but I was wondering if anyone here had any suggestions. I've tried cracking open the window, and it's 50:50 odds on if it helps or worsens the situation.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
