Super odd question, I suppose! Neptr is in a 1116 square inch enclosure (hopefully going into a 1900-2000 square inch enclosure within the upcoming months) and his enclosure doesn't smell at all.

He is in my room, and I usually go on my computer after work, which is usually 10-11pm. His enclosure is behind me, and I wear noise cancelling headphones so I don't hear if he is scuttering about.

However, I know when he wakes up because I can smell him. He doesn't even have to be sat in the middle of the enclosure, usually hes just poking his little head out of his cork hide.

I'm just wondering why this might be? He has a sand bath and I usually see his little foot prints in there, too.
