Essential oil diffuser safe for leopard gecko?

[piebleh]

I love the smell of essential oils, but I’m not sure if they are safe for leopard geckos. I was thinking about getting an oil diffuser for my room, but I might not be able to depending on how it will affect my leopard gecko. The main oils that I would use would be cinnamon, lemongrass, clove, and fir. I also have a eucalyptus candle that is almost out, but if it’s harmful to Marbles, I’ll get rid of it. Thanks for any help

It's probably best not to experiment with it since reptiles are known to be very sensitive and it can be hard to predict what will end up being an irritant. I wouldn't use any scented product (candles, essential oils, air fresheners) in a room with reptiles just for good measure but just assume any sort of tree oils are harmful -- and eucalyptus is a definite no. Of course that isn't to say they can't be used in other parts of the house as long as it's seperate from your gecko.

It's hard to say...I burn incense occasionally in my place. I know my gecko can smell it. Has it hurt him? Not sure. This is a good question though. I wear aftershave after shaving and showering, and when I walk by my geckos tank he sticks his nose up in the air because he can smell it. Does he like it? Does it bother him? Not that I know of.
