Ric - After reading that yesterday I did a simple experiment here at home... I put a few mothballs in a plastic container and put them in one of my python enclosures, in his favorite location... He spends maybe 70% of his time in the location.. For the 3 hours that the mothballs were there, he went nowhere near it.. He regularly climbed half way up the stick and raised his head to see what was there, but quickly turned around and headed back to the floor of his enclosure... Once the mothballs were removed, it took him about 20 minutes to get back to his usual location and settle back in... I'd say its pretty effective
