I just got some snake plants. It says that they consume more co2 at night then day.[/
Im afraid you received some bad info. Plants only release o2 during photosynthesis which only occurs with the presence of light. At night plants metabolize like animals do and utilize the energy produced during the day and release co2. It would take a large quantity of plants with quite a bit of sunlight to make an impact on co2 levels. It's still a nice houseplant.

Actually, according to this source, you are incorrect.
Oxygen producing plants in the home are great factors of longevity.
#2 Snake Plant a.k.a. Mother-In-Law’s Tongue: Of all the different oxygen producing plants, this one is unique since it converts a lot of CO2 (carbon dioxide) to O2 (oxygen) at night, making it ideal to have several in your bedroom. 6-8 waist high plants are needed per person to survive if there is no air flow (meaning you could live in a completely air sealed room if you had these plants and the Areca Palms present). The snake plant also removes formaldehyde from the air.
