Can you please tell me if homemade hides using either salt-dough or papier-mache, varnished with yatch varnish are ok to use for my royals?
Have any of you made hides for your snakes using either material....didn't I see a skull on here a few days ago?
All opinions and input welcome!

I much prefer the poly and grout hides but thats personal choice. just make sure if your using yaught varnish to let it cure properly.

I use b and q clear matt varnish which has a very low toxicity rating
