Re: varathane, wood sealer
Urethanes can take quite a while to completely stop gassing off, but they are superior to acrylics for sealing wood. Expect t wait a week or so. Once cured, it should be completely safe for your snake.

Re: varathane, wood sealer
Did you use a water or oil based Varathane? I used Helmsmann Spar Urethane (oil based) outdoor wood sealer, and DANG, it has been like 3 weeks of hauling it out in the sun, fans blowing on it, etc and it is STILL a bit smelly.

Expect to wait a while if you use an oil based sealer.

Edit: Wow, I didn't realize how old this thread is....
