    Hot glue vs aquarium sealant for DIY hides?
    Hi everyone! In the run up to getting my ball python, I'm looking forward to doing a little bit of DIY/craft in making some cool hides or decor for his viv - all of the comparatively simple 'rocks and silk plants stuck to normal hide' variety.

    I've done as much reading as I can on... basically every forum I can find, and as a last port of call I just really wanted to ask some people's personal opinions outright!

    Which would you prefer to use; an aquarium-safe sealant (pros: definitely non-toxic and moisture safe, cons: how well will it bond to stones or other non-normal materials) or a hot glue gun (pros: will definitely stick stuff, cons: I've seen some people suggest temperature or humidity risk it getting sticky again)?

    I like sealant. It's plenty sticky and should last longer. Hot glue easily peels off rock.
