Hello all! new to posting, but have been reading non-stop for quite some time!

My husband built a beautiful cage with woods that we had in our garage, but unfourtantely we did not know of the toxic effects of PINE.....well aware of cedar. Parts of the cage have pine (i.e. the back panel and a portion of the lid).

We got our new home all set up, two hides, water bowl, temp, humidity, you name it, it's done....and bam! I read about pine....

We went to Walmart and got a Rubbermaid container asap and got our baby out of there!

My question is not about keeping my bp in there....no es bueno for our bp, we know....but I was wondering, is there a paint or laquer that i can apply so that we can use it in the future for bp to come?

Also, I researched to see if it would be harmful for other reptiles, such as lizards....but have come up with out results saying nay or yea....

Thanks so much for all the help and opinions!
