Incense and gills?

[Hermitcrabber369]

Hello everyone,while I'm not new to hermit crabs this is my first post in forever lol. As the title says I was wondering about hermit crabs and incense. I burn incense for religious reasons, sometimes 2-3 times a day sometimes once a day or even a couple days in between. I usually burn stick incense but sometimes resin when it comes to special days. (The scents I burn are frankincense and myrrh with the occasional rose and pine.) I don't have any other place to practice my faith except outside on rare occasions besides my room. I always have my door open and multiple fans blowing so the incense disperses rather quickly. And while I haven't got any hermies yet I was wondering would it be ok to burn the incense mentioned above with hem in the same room? I can keep their cage partially covered with a towel as well and position the fan so it blows the smoke away from their tank if that helps.

We don’t really know how irritating incense can be for them so you’re right to be cautious, but I think you can get away with it with sufficient air flow.
