    Broken water dish.
    I was wondering if there is a reptile safe epoxy? I would send it back, but the shipping costs more than the water dish is worth.

    I'm not sure about a reptile safe epoxy. You could probably buy a new bowl for less than what most epoxies cost.

    Well it was worth asking, but for s&g is there an epoxy that I could use if the need ever arises?

    I use Liquid Nails clear waterproof epoxy to mend pvc seams. You have to let it COMPLETELY dry before you put your animals around it. I dont think I would fix a bowl with it though.

    Well that was a useful post. Has is occurred to you that the OP might want to use what he's got for aesthetic reasons? Maybe it's going in a display viv and he doesn't want some janky plastic crap out for everyone to look at.

    You can also use the gel super glue. After its COMPLETELY dry its safe. I've used it in planted aquariums with no problems and that was with very delicate fish. It doesn't leak any toxins. I will say I've never used it on a snakes water dish.

    thank you:cool:

    BUY a new one!!! That's the solution. If it's some pricey water bowl,then go get a quick fix bowl for $5 and save a few bucks to buy a new one that you really like. Then again,if you can't afford a water bowl you shouldn't own a pet,God forbid it gets sick. How you going to afford a vet bill if you can't even afford a new water bowl....:D

    God forbid you actually be pleasant. :/

    I think this is a good question OP. Never know when you'll need to know what glue is safe to use. I would think aquarium sealant would be fine since fish are fine with it.
