    Re: Hot glue Safe

    Is this a waterproof glue? If so then it shouldn't dissolve in water once it's set. Also, your ball python will drink from any water source whether you want them to or not.

    Are you putting in some kind of water fall in the cage?

    Use silicone aquarium sealant. Definately water proof, definately safe to use in a water feature. Should be readily available at your local pet store.

    Hot glue is water proof and non toxic. I use it to seal all my cages i build for boas. It holds very well and comes off easy when needed. Will not dissolve in water and it dries fast with no cure time.

    You may find hot glue sticky and may start to lift when exposed to a lot of moisture. Hot glue should really only be used for porous materials only, and they don't have to say if the particular brand of glue is safe.
    Rhino Glue is 100% food safe and waterproof. Works like magic. I've used it in everything you can think of, even wetsuit repair.
