Urine smell

[ryandrumm2020]

Is it normal for my Veiled habitat to always smell of urine? I did go bioactive with soil, drain rock, magnolia leaves isopods, springtails ect it seems most of the urine and or poop never makes it to the floor. Habitat is dense and thick with plants so usually just falls on the leaves it seems.

I have noticed the same with my brothers bioactive setup. I would suggest making the lower part less dense, so the droppings reach the bottom. Otherwise the cleanup crew won’t do their job. Or you need to cleanup droppings that don’t reach the bottom.

By any chance having spagnum moss on the floor that’s drying out? Something got the feeling that creates the urine smell.

yes have some spagnum moss around plants base on bottom but not much. I think I will just need to wipe down the large leaves that seem to be collecting the urine and feces

I only get that from dead feeders.

You want to clear a room, just find a plant pot water basin with a few dead crickets in the saucer.

It funny for me, but I don’t smell foul from
chameleons stools or their urates….

There is a...tinge of an odor. It's not overbearing. Not pleasant, either, but not like *retch when you smell it* bad. I have to kind of use my nose to locate where it is sometimes
