Questions....

I want to make my beardie a homemade dish out of oven drying modelling clay, just wondering, how do I safety proof it for this species and what paints are non-toxic?

I don't think modeling clay is toxic, but I've never tried sealing it to make it waterproof. With ceramics you'd want to stick with a non-toxic glaze (there are food grade options available) but I'm not sure if they would work on modeling clay or if there is an equivalent.

Well, not modelling clay really... It's professional clay, a gift from my friend who works at a sculpting company. I might ask her for her opinion. I'm definitely sealing it before usage,

I would just make sure your paints and seal are both food grade. And be careful of colors with cadmium, just in case it leaches through. You can get test swabs for lead to test after you've finished
