Hey guys, Basically I've made a wooden shelf to go in one of my vivs so that my Bulls have some more climbing space, but i was thinking of putting a finish to the wood (ie some sort of varnish) thats obviously safe to the reptile, generally because it will look slightly better and stop the snakes poo staining the wood .

So anyone know a good thing to use? or is it not needed and the wood wont even stain in the first place?

Thanks

I would use yacht varnish and allow it to cure until the smell has gone before using it

Thanks, helps alot

Just one more thing though, is it ok to not use yacht varnish on mdf before you place it in a viv? or would you say that it would be unhealthy, or would just get stained easy?

Thanks

MDF needs treating too, I used MDF to build my Beardie viv and used yacht varnish.

However, I used Conti-board for my next viv and its 100 times easier to use than MDF!
