Hello reprilian friends!
I hope you are all having a great week.
I come to you for advice about a recurent funky smell i have in my auriculatus's tank (planted, cleaning crew, and home made backround)
Now I know that is normal to have some earthy smells, but this one is more of a musky cream cheese smell
.. I may be exageratîng ^^
Has any one been through this type of encounter ?
My first guess was the leaf litter degradîng and microbes letting of this? But my other tanks do not have this. I will put in place a small computer fan in order to accelerate the air flow and thus maybe let the substrat dry out from time to time. (It has a fals bottom wich never ever has water drippîng down) so wouldnt be due to stagnante water in the bottom.
I really think it might be the leafs (magnolia and liquidambar mix, that I pre boiled etc)
Was not sure where to post this thread so doing it in the cattegory where my geckos are, but oppen to all keepers that might have an idea about the subject.
Thank you all for the time given to my question!
