New wooden hide in the works...

Well after a few customer-less days at work, my friend and i have had time to talk (the friend who built 80% of my new cage).

And we've decided that sometime in the future we will have some kind of permanent wooden box hide...

I dont know about you guys, but with a growing boa, and a pooping boa, its kinda frustrating to keep going through wooden boxes when really you cant find one that is perfect.

So in the same manner as the construction of the cage, we are making a wooden box, almost a down to scale form of a house :P...It will be in wood, likely painted repeatedly to be waterproof (spray paint ok? i told him its bad cuz its spray, and therefore could be toxic...we've used painters touch and it works great)...

It will at least have one entrance big enough for when shes adult...And hopefully we can incorporate some sort of design on the roof of it to allot for semi-arboreal exploration ...So far we have wooden poles left over, we were going to use them as pegs to secure the tops, but the pole turned out to be to girthy. so perhaps hot gluing a system of those poles and then somehow securing them on the roof will be done.

So as far as paint, we are going to try to get every surface on it, and from thinking here to myself i may as well bring up the idea of a different color....

So is spray paint harmful? i know its cheaper, but i prefer rust-oleum painters touch more, since the cage is of that. I'd rather settle with what paint will last me in the long run

I would not of thought spray paint would be a problem as long as it is left outside the tank long enough for the fumes to dissapate, as the smell from cellulose can hang around for a while. The other option would be spray acrylic as it is effectively water based but waterproof once dry.
