Mercury vapour for heat and uv, other lights for heat and light. A larger basking spot created by multiple heat lamps is required for a large lizard

So I know pine isn't good for reptiles. My enclosure for my black roughneck was made from pine (unknowingly at the time the toxicity) and I was advised to use a sealant. I saw you did the same. With them scratching at the wood, is it still considered safe and what do you do to keep the wood safe?
@Varanibae2 жыл бұрын
My understanding is that pine used for construction doesn’t have a lot of oily residues left from the drying process. I’m not concerned about toxicities even if this enclosure isn’t sealed. It’s probably got more to do with the concentration of the oil in the air. More of an issue if you have relatively freshly shaven pine shavings pieces in small poorly ventilated enclosures. Pretty sure there are reptiles in pine forests in the wild.

@Varanibae2 жыл бұрын
Good luck with your build! Mood may or may not grow, regardless of wether you paint the wood. A smooth gloss finish like polyurethane varnish would probably reduce the chances of that happening. But then again, peoples bathrooms grow mold even though the paint used is usually rated for bathroom use.
