I am started the project of a new tortoise enclosure and I have a hatchling Sulcata and about to have a hatchling Gpp leopard and I bought treated plywood to build the enclosure with because i knew it needed to be water resistant and such because its going to be humid in my enclosure. very very very very humid with a little tortoise pond.
I am having problems though because people are telling me to now use treated plywood because its toxic. I am putting sealant on it though, two coats and can put another coat of exterior paint over that.. this is the sealant I was going to use.
any thoughts? opinions? real life situations with tortoise enclosures made of treated plywood?
Just trying to find the best way to go from here since I just bought 60 or so dollars of treated plywood that I don't want to just be a waste
know though that if no definitive, safe solution is presented I will scrap the treated plywood before risking my tortoise.
