Decided to customise a viv for Sim as she's just about out grown her current rub - but I need sealant, I've seen many opposing views on whats good and wants not.
So if anyone has any good suggestions of which to buy that would be great?!

aquarium sealent is always safe.
i have also used normal sealent on one of my vivs, and just left it for a good week with heat on to get rid of any fumes etc. after the fumes have disapered then its safe as there not going to eat it.

I used aquarium sealant on mine as I heard that some of the bathroom and kitchen sealants have got an anti-fungal chemical in them that might not be good for snakey. Not sure if this is true but I thought it is not worth the risk. As reptiledanny said normal sealant would do the job fine just got to leave it to cure properly.
