Is Spraypaint toxic?

NIko8 Mar 31, 2005 02:18 PM

I spraypainted a rubbermaid box and was just wondering if it would harm my animals if I put it in a cage?
Thanks
NIko

It is toxic until it cures fully. The time to cure varies with temperature and humidity. Since it is going inside a cage that probably doesn't have tons of ventilation (as most snake cages don't) I would give it at least 5 days or more until the odor isn't overpowering.
