Yes, im pretty sure i read that a normal wood varnish is ok and safe for snakes. You just have to let it dry out and defumigate.

I would use it then let it try out and plug the heatmatt in or your heat source and leave it on for a day or so to make sure all the fumes have escaped from the viv then you may put steve in his new home , Hope he likes it good luck let us know how you get on and will want to see pics

I moved Casper upto a 3g fuzzy this week. Its crazy seeing the difference in size. The 3g Fuzzies are much bigger than 3 - 4g pinks lol.
