Brand new enclosure for my Murray Darling

[nell70]

My husband and I have just finished construction of an absolute mammoth enclosure for our 5yr old SA Murray Darling. He is about 7ft and needs a much bigger home now so we have gone all out and built him a palace.

We are having a small dilemma however that we have just finished painting the inside and I have painted murals all over the inside for him of a tropical jungle, (thought he might like a change of scenery). It looks really spectacular, however now we have the smell of paint in it that just hasn't gone away yet.

Does anyone have any ideas to help get rid of the smell?

I would really love to get him into it, but I am worried that the smell will be too potent.

just give it a day or two for airing then it should b fine

I'd wait a week or two before putting your snake in it. Jmo

I agree with reptile boy. Just be patient ,air it out for a few days to a week and it will be fine. We've just been through the same thing but its worth the wait. Good Luck

Run it with all heating on until the smell of fumes is gone

i also agree, turn heating on, leave doors open, give it at least a week to air out, before putting your beast in there.
