BLUE TONGUE SKINKS

i am thinking about varnishing or staining the wood on the outside of my encloser what varnish or stain can you use that will be harmless to blueys??

I think they are all ok,as long as you give it enough time to dry and sink in properly,Varnish is more protective,but a real git to not leave brush marks in.With stain, read the label,if it says safe for pets and things you should be fine,there was a law banning certain dangerous coverings for fences here(dont use creosote).

Yes, if you leave it to dry and set before you put the skink in, it will be fine to paint the outside of the cage. I've heard lead paint is bad...

thanks

I'm making one myself, and I am using water-based stain and polycrylic. I think it has less VOC's than most other stains, especially those that are oil-based. I figure if it makes me uncomfortable, it would at least do the same to a BTS.
