Hi, just for interest`s sake, treated timber is perfectly safe to use once it`s dried.

Sure is.. My cage is completely framed with pressure treated wood, and the animals are fine.

Been Spending a lot of time working on this giant lately. Building a 4'x8'x'4' cage for my Savannah Monitor. It will have 1/4" glass doors and 1/4" windows on each end with a HID metal halide and sulfur sodium light setup when its all done. I have had my guy in a 55gal tank and learned real fast how bad that was for him after reading a a lot on varanustalk. Its not cheap to build one of these and I am not even using pressure treated wood. I will be using the rubber roofing from RV's since I have access to a bunch of it for free.
