Hi, I'm sure this has been discussed but does anyone know some non toxic paint for the inside of a formicarium? I'm recycling an older camponotus hybrid 1.0 formicarium. They were made of darker material and it was so hard to see them. If I painted the inside a lighter colour it would make seeing my crematogastor colony much easier.

I also need to paste on some new mesh on the bottom. Any ideas on mesh as well?

Sincerely

Canadant

Non toxic acrylic paint would work. For your mesh, look up 100 micron mesh on eBay.
