Not sure if, when cured, it is safe or not. Worth investigating. They do use it on the floors of horse trailers, but that is different than a snake lying on it.

Now their epoxy product looks interesting. That would be the ticket, as epoxy is harmless once cured, even for fish and amphibians. Course you can buy epoxy paint at hardware stores. It is not really for vertical walls, but it works well if painting the cage floor and a few inches up the sides. Rest of the cage can be regular paint.

There is an available product call Drylok (other brands out there too) masonry sealer that has been used alot. I just used it over a fake rock I made from poly foam. Coated it generously with Drylok, let that cure, then painted over it with non-toxic paint with a little sand thrown in for added texture. Has worked very well and has not harmed the animals. It will stick to wood as well, especially when painting it on the cage floor and a few inches up the sides. I never see the point in painting high up the walls with anything but water-based paint, as you are not scrubbing that part of the cage when cleaning.
