Habitat Decorations?

[JeniHaas]

I found a few sticks and rocks I'd like to put in one of my T's cage. However, the rocks are painted with acrylic paint and the sticks have been spray painted different colors. If I leave these items outside for a few days to get rid of the paint smell and make sure its 100% dry, can I use these items to decorate my T's Cage? I HOPE SO!!!!

I wouldn't feel comfortable doing it. I know from keeping parrots the paint, especially spray paint, can still be toxic to them WEEKS after it is dry.

Yeah, I would probably not put anything with spray paint in. I had a hamster get stick from chewing on a painted enclosure I had put in without thinking

well Tarantulas can't chew. the main concern is pesticides/chemicals. If you haven't baked it.. don't use it.
