thought so due to the lack of toxens in the sealant as all fish tank sealant are all tested for marine setups that are extremely detremental and 1 wrong thing and u could loose thousands of pounds worth of fish, i know all of this due to the fact that i kept fish for several yrs

As said,aquarium sealant is the best.
It still gives off some fumes though at first so give it plenty of time to cure before adding your snake to the viv.

i always advise on giving it 24hrs after the recommended time, just to be safe, i also used to build custom fish tanks for people.

From recollection it's the anti-moulding chemical in all other sealants that cause the problems with reps, hence why fishy tank sealant is the one that should be used.
Plus fishy tank sealant is a LOT stronger than any other sealant I know of.
