I have heard of caulks and tile grouts with anti-fungal/mildew agents being used in reptile cages with no apparent ill effects. This does not mean they are non-toxic, however.



Personally I would not hesitate to use the paint you described in one of my Gonyosoma cages, and they are notoriously delicate snakes. But that is only my opinion, ultimately it's your peace of mind that matters. Unfortunately it's very difficult to say whether or not something is safe for all herps. Not unlike some snake mite treatments that are said to be "proven safe" but then are known to cause neurological problems in a few snake species.

Currently keeping a small collection of various Gonyosoma. Both G. janseni and G. oxycephala.
