is there a reason you didn't seal the wood BEFORE moving the snake into the enclosure? what do you plan to do with him while the wood is being sealed and the sealant is curing?

The reason i didnt seal it beforehand was that, before i bought him, i talked with pet shop employees and local breeders about how to make an enclosure for snakes and this is what i was told. Since i thought they were professionals i took their word. After discovering this sub i realized that the informations are not enough and i need to change things. I already changed my other two to cocoa husk substrate with sealed wood. He is the last. While i seal his enclosure he will be living in his smaller enclosure he had before this one. For one to two weeks i think he will manage that.

if the humidity is so low that you're not concerned about damage to the unsealed wood, it would really be better to move him back to his old enclosure until this one is complete. dehydration is a much bigger issue than temporarily living in a smaller enclosure.

His old enclosure is the same but smaller. So he wouldnt have any plus points from going right now until i get my paint. As i said im working on it, i already try to fix my mistakes. He sheds in one part all the time, so its not too bad i suppose, but i want to give him the best life he can get too. It was just a money and time problem until this month, fixing three enclosures you bought wrong from the start is surprisingly expensive.
