Reptile safe adhesive ?

[Pythonfriend]

you can use anything that stops being sticky after a set amount of time. (as long as its not toxic). the problem with tape is that it stays sticky forever.

you can use a glue gun, where the stuff is only sticky when its hot, and safe and solid when cooled down. Or you can use the silicone stuff used in bathrooms and to build aquariums, it uses acetic acid (chemically pure vinegar) as a solvent, and when the smell of vinegar is gone its still elastic but no longer sticky. component glues and super glues also get hard and stop being sticky, but here the solvents may be toxic and you need to give it time for the solvents to ventilate away.

they even have silicone stuff that is marketed as reptile-safe, but then, the regular silicone stuff uses the same non-toxic solvent, acetic acid. (my mom occasionally uses pure 20% acetic acid for cooking) .I would recommend either that, or a glue gun that uses heat. with these, you can glue large, heavy stuff to the ceiling if you want, that should get the job done. Especially the stuff used to build aquariums can withstand enormous forces for decades, crucial for large aquariums, and is obviously immune to moisture.

Its just that tape or other stuff that stays sticky is the ultimate kryptonite for snakes. Tape sticks to snakes as it sticks to clean glass, a surprisingly strong bond.
