in my opinion i think you should be alright but just keep an eye on his behaviour if he suddenly starts changing and acting different then id put them out.

Candles do give off fumes/vapours. I suppose it depends on what ingredients are in the candle. For many other reasons though candles and bedrooms are not a great combination so my answer would be buy a lava lamp instead lol.

I use candles, nail varnish and spray in my room and have done for 12 years, none have keeled over yet nor do their behaviour chnge but it is a big room thats aired well. Id just say it depends how well aired and how big the room is maybe. Lava lamps are much cooler though :-P



A very special super, duper thanks for K :3
