>>I am doing a new enclosure and have used a spray foam to form my background. Now i want to paint it. I need something that will not harm the reptiles but not sure what to use. I found some water base non toxic acrylic paint but it does not seem to hold up well on the foam. I am curious if anyone can recommend some sort of paint that will cover the foam and be reptile safe.
>>thanks

A couple friends here use the foam and then (presumably while it is still tacky) cover it with a layer of peat or jungle mix.
