We live in an apartment and our downstairs neighbors moved out, to which now they're re-painting that unit. For the past 4 days now, we've come home to our apartment smelling like paint fumes, even though they've got the patio doors and windows open downstairs. After being in the apartment for a while, the smell eventually becomes unnoticeable. Do you think this could be affecting my reptilian baby in any kind of way?

I just had the same thing happen. It didn't seem to cause any issues. More annoying for us but as you said it's not noticeable after a bit. Just try to keep windows open and ventilate as much as is reasonable and I wouldn't worry about it too much.

Thanks Cooper. So even though it wasn't your place being painted, you still left your windows open?

Yeah when I was home. It built up a little bit while I was away but it still didn't seem to cause any problem. The smell should go away within a few days once everything is dry so it's not a long term issue. In the meantime enjoy not having a neighbor and being able to play your music as loudly as you'd like =)

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
