These look great, I wonder if you could make something like a water bowl by hand? I guess the varnish, while water proof, may not be non toxic while in water so probably not.
I'm concerned that when my boa gets bigger she'll need a little tray sized water bowl - perhaps I could make a surround for it (get a 'stone' coloured plastic tray) to make it look mostly like a rock. |

I love salt dough. Made loads of stuff.. jewellery and ornaments etc.
Made a few hides for the corns but they didnt last too long, dont think i sealed/varnished them properly.
If you can get a good enough varnish you could make pretty much anything you wanted for the viv, for pennies!
might give it another go at some point |

| @a2c7 I hadn't thought about that - can anyone answer if the varnish would be safe? I've just made/painted a water bowl from salt dough (it's been made as a volcano) and I was planning on using it as a water bowl but I'm now wondering if it will be non-toxic? |

Wow, I can help here!
You can not get the salt dough wet..... That's not to say you can't use it, if you have varnished and made it 100% water proof it should be fine.
I think this answers someone else's question...... You can varnish salt dough, in fact it's recommended, to give it longer life.
Hope this helps. |

Molly - many thanks - concern is that using a varnished water bowl may mean it's not non-toxic. I'm just concerned that having water sat in a varnished bowl could poison my snake....
have you varnished a hide, or a water bowl? |

| Not used salt dough but I have made lots of hides out of polystyrene for my leopard gecko and my royal, and varnished them all with no ill effects to my animals. I'm not sure I would do a water bowl in normal varnish, would probably want to use pond sealer to do this. |
