Safe Habitat Decor

[JeniHaas]

I recently found some nice rocks and sticks to put into my Ts tank, however that have been spray painted different colors.... Is the paint ok? If I keep the things outside in the fresh air for a few days, will it be safer? PLease4 answer soon thanks all!!!!

anything from out side should be baked at 354 for 20 minutes.
and if it's painted you will have to seal it with a poly of some sort.
Then wait a week be for introducing them to your enclosure.

Might be safer not to use em though.

Better safe than sorry! Ther are too many safe alternatives for decor. Try your local pet store for decor even aquarium decor can be cool. Artificial plants and decor can found at craft and even Dollar stores! Be creative but cautious!
