You need a low voc paint, and it has to dry to zero smell/fumes. I would also say seal it with clear coat. It has to have zero fumes though, beardies have a more simple respotory system than us and it could irritate him if it still has a smell to it.

Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
