Their poop can smell very bad. Especilly when they had some raw fish filets or hard boiled eggs. But thank God for hard wood and tile floors lol. Most of the time I put my Tegus in the bath tub when they wake up. They go poop in there and this helps a lot.
The poop smells horribly for about 5 minutes. But once it dries up a bit it doesn't. When they poo during free roaming it's often a foul experience.
I try not to let mine out until after he has 'emptied himself'. I spot clean the cage daily removing the physical waste and the handful of mulch around it.
I've had people (non reptile owners) say they are surprised the enclosure doesn't smell more than it does...
