Type of wood? Safe for tort?

[Kori5]

Hello . I just bought this beautiful house for my tortoise. But would like to know what kind of wood is this and is it tortoise safe. It doesn't say anything on the label, just real wood. It's from a German company called Karlie.

Does it smell like cedar? It looks like it.

What does cedar smell like? It was bought on rabbit part of the store but I tought it would look nice. Is cedar ok or not? Because I've read it is toxic to reptiles and was confused because some habbas are made of it.

It doesn't have a specific smell, not strong. Like any wood and maybe a little paint. Don't know what to do . If it is from cedar is it a no no?

Most things made of Cedar smell very strongly, so it likely is NOT and therefor probably safe to use. Especially since it's not likely that a tortoise would eat any of it anyway.

Yes, it doesn't stink in any kind of way. And I'm sure it's sealled with something. The worst thing is there were two types, one looked too made up, white and pretty and this looked natural so appealed to me. I'm probably going to be the first one until I decide am I gonna use this or not. I do plan to put a plastic bin inside for humidity so this will be the outer part .
