Howdy peeps, Im going to be painting my the interior of my house. I am wondering if it will be safe in the house for my chams while i am painting, or will i have to move them elswhere?
Thanks

What are you painting,wall?furniture?Do you know if your paint is water or solvent based?

If it is dangerous to humans it is almost 3 times as harmful for chams! Move him/her into a seperate room totally away from the room being painted...Be careful because we wouldn't want your animal getting hurt.

Anything that has a smell to it that is artificial could be VERY harmful to your cham, or any lizard. One of my uros got vewry sick because i super glued the rocks together and apparently the scent of the sealant damaged his nasal region...

Just move the cage to your bedroom or bathroom....ANYWHERE BUT THE ROOM BEING PAINTED!

I'm only happy when I've ruined everything I see.

It will be water based paint, i will be able to house them out side for most of the day.as long as the warm weather stays

Paints are my job and I am familiar with paint technology,I am sure wall emulsion cannot harm your cham but if you wish you can keep him outside,even better but if you are forced to put him back don't hesitate.Most of the odor vanishes in a couple of hours
