    first time builder....
    Ok so I have a GTP on the way and Id like to build/design my own custom cage for him when he is ready for an adult size cage...

    ive never customed the inside before so I am totally clueless as to what glues/caulks and sealers are ok to use or not?? Any brands/names tips would be appreciated.

    Also does anyone know what that spray foam is called? Ive seen it used before in custom cage interiors and then covered with other materials?

    Thanks

    I would just use the original. You can pick it up at Wal-Mart or Home Depot. Wal-Mart is usually cheaper. As far as glue you should be ok as long as you let it completely dry and give your project a few days for the smells to completely go away. The last one I built dried for a few days, then I introduced heat and humidity. After monitoring that for about a week I put my snake in. Some might say its a bit extreme, I say cautious!!
