Hello friends just bought my first FB40 New plastic tub. I have cleaned them out with some soap and lots of water multiple times. I installed the rack and put the covers on the tubs. My plan was to use it for a week without animals to test everything. The thing is when I open the tubs there is a small but noticeable (if I put my nose inside) smell of plastic. Is this normal? What should I do? I asked CHATGP and it says it might be degassing of the plastic.
Is it safe to put my ball pythons in?
Degassing of plastic is normal, its a sign of a fresh new product which is good in your case.
I get it with new Sterilite bins even after a wash, I just let them air out for a day and make sure they are well ventilated when the animal is put in. Never had any issues, but I also don’t use that specific type of bin/rack system… I don’t imagine its going to be harmful though as long as ventilation is plenty.
Why wouldn’t you use that type of rack or system?
Thanks for the help I was just worried and wanted to be 100% sure it was safe
Its not that I wouldn’t, I actually look forward to upgrading to some more decent racks in the future 
I just don’t currently use them.
