I've never seen anything printed on this but I'm not sure it's a good idea since ventilation is such a big thing with the keeping of T's. I'm just wondering if in the smoke if any particles are carried that could have an effect on the T... or perhaps attach to their webbing which would not be a good thing. Best wishes.

It's jsut me, but I would avoid doing so. Some of the standard incense types (i'm not talking about the funky mixes, like November rain or anything like that) have properties that natually repell insects. As for the funky mixes...when you don't know what's in it, how do you know if it's bad for your T's?

Unscented candles probably wouldn't be a big deal, but scented...I'd avoid it.

I've used those Glad plug-in air fresheners in my room with my blondi with no problems, as well as a scented candle....

The scented candles or oils don't offer the actual smoke that the incense does. I would'nt reccomend either, but if you have to use one or the other go smokeless.

I have all sorts of candles and insence in my room, I love smelly things. I've NEVER had any problems with burning them, even with the windows shut...

I would be careful with air fresheners. There have been cases where they have killed tarantulas. FaBreeze (sp?) is especially nasty.
