| I would agree too, although if you get chance to look at the ingredients in fish tank silicon and in a normal silicon you might have a better idea. |

| no, i've recently checked this with an adhesives manufacturer. normal grade silicone continues to give off fumes/chemicals as part of it's anti-bacterial effect, this is NOT suitable for snakes. aquarium grade silicone doesn't have these long-lasting chemicals and is safe to use for reps |

This was probably down to the chemicals in it evaporating far quicker than normal kitchen/bathroom silicon |

it's not the initial fumes that's the worry, it's what that normal silicon is giving off right now...........................  |
