No, that was me being distracted & fumbling my reply (hit wrong button) then restoring your post as it was, nothing you said, lol- multi-tasking att & not always good at it.Originally Posted by Snagrio
I'm guessing I simply use a sealant trowel to get a smooth even coating over the whole inner enclosure? And while I have an idea as to what wood types are safe, idk how I'd be able to tell what a cabinet was made of if there isn't a label, let alone if the wood was treated with anything potentially harmful. Any tips for that? Another thing is ventilation. Would something like circular sawing small slits on the back/sides be sufficient or would I need to be more intricate?
As an aside, did I accidentally leave a swear in my last message or something? I noticed you edited it and I'm not sure if I did something wrong?
Trowel-? Depends on what product you'd use. Wood- wouldn't worry about what kind, you'd want to seal it (only non-toxic & NO VOC products) & make sure it doesn't off-gas. Any fumes means it's not fully dry or ready for occupant. If you drill vent holes, you'd want to seal inside them. Better to install an actual metal vent+, IMO, & the amount of ventilation you need depends on what kind of snake is occupying it. (as I said, for my rat snake, perforated metal worked great- they sell that in 3' x 3' sheets, cuts easily with metal shears)
