Wow... I forgot about this thread, and I notice I never gave the measurements. Sorry about that - I sold these a while ago.
I used standard latex paint. It cured for about a week, if I recall. I did use lids, so the snakes weren't too exposed to it.
While there is certainly some off-gassing of cured paint, the main problem is the solvents that the color is immersed in - the liquid. After a week, I never worry about it anymore. Especially if it is summer and I can allow it to cure outside.
