Painting - what kind?

Okay maybe this question sounds stupid.
Im thinking about painting the hide in my tub, and has actually already bought a normal spraycan to do the job, and then i was wondering if that would be any problem for my BP, or if there is something special paint who is better for the snake?
Prolly doesnt mean a thing, but better safe than sorry ;)

I... wouldn't really suggest it unless you absolutely want to.

It does matter, on a whole, most paints have varying degrees of VOC's (which have been known to cause illnesses/deformities) which means you should probably find a paint that has very low or zero VOCs. Stay far away from ones with metal (like lead, mercury, etc) and oil based paints.

I would try to find out what kind of stains/paints/sealants most hide-makers/water bowl/food bowl makers use.

I uaed rustoleuom stone effects and the let ir drie and clear coated it.....takes a while to dry though make sure theres no smell of paint

In that thread, she paints a hide that she made herself, you can look at what kind of paint she used and go from there :)
