Which paint/sealant to use?

[cmh3988]

I got a wooden viv off of craigslist and need to paint and seal the inside. What brand or type of paint/sealant should I look for? Anything to definitely avoid?

Thanks!

I used polyurethane (min wax), but polycryclic or epoxy is also an option. Avoid oils and anything that doesn't form a hard waterproof shell.

Also, read the label for whatever you choose to understand the curing time. I'd even google "cure time for ...." To double check. Polyurethane makes a great seal, but can take about 1-2 weeks to cure completely.

Sorry, I won't be much help for the inside, because I don't know if this would be ok inside.
I'm getting my dragon this coming Saturday, so a made sure that I did this a few months earlier.
I painted the outside of my wooden vivarium with white paint, undercoat/primer with a top coat (Gloss)
It was the Dulux Brand. I'm not any expert with this stuff, but all I had to know if it was non toxic. I did this because it was second hand and it made it look newer and nicer.
However, for the inside, I'm not too sure if it would be ok because the beardie might scratch off the paint (with the type I used on the outside). But again, I'm no expert.

Hope I helped
