When building a cage with wood, are there any paints, stains, etc to avoid. Obviously no lead paint, but is normal outdoor oil based stain ok. I figure that a water based paint would get scratched easy, but id rather have something get scratches on it than be the cause of death. I should know b/c I used to work for a painting service, but I did prep work and all the wood work. I've been into woodwork since I was a kid & make custom cages for outdoor birds, etc. & I am starting on some fancy, decoration pieces for my house. The last wooden reptile cage i made was when i was @6 for an iguana, back when lead paint was still @, and now that i think back that may have been the reason he was so crazy!
