I started looking up the krylon fusion and I noticed that the krylon color master and indoor/outdoor paint has more colors I like. Have you tried either one of those? Do you think they are safe since they are both till krylon?

Natural vs. unnatural are both human concepts, animals don't understand them. If someone says a snake should have a "natural-looking" environment, it's his personal opinion how to present his snake - he prefers to imagine there's a piece of wilderness in his vivarium. Snakes have some needs, like hides, climbing branches, bedding etc., but it's the function they need, and it doesn't really matter what these things look like.

For a snake, things like shelter vs. no shelter and light vs. dark are more important - light may represent open, unsafe place for them and dark probably feels more secure. In that sense, it's good to make sure they can hide in dark places and not make their environment too brightly colored.

The glossier, the easier to wipe down -the flatter, the easier to "touch up" with more paint. All abrasives can remove finishes. Most any oil based or latex paint can be used safely in vivs as long as they aren't going to be in very high humidity, and are given ample time to dry and cure.

Completely agree with proileri on "natural" vs. unnatural, as long as lighting isn't too bright.
