Grow Tent as BCI Enclosure?

[Bogertophis]

That's actually an interesting point that I didn't think about, I'd think they'd be safe considering they're generally used for plants meant for human consumption so their should be some level of attention to potentially dangerous chemicals. I plan on washing the tent then letting it air out for a while. The good thing with grow tents generally is that even the top of the line brands are still affordable, and all of them use the same 600D Mylar which I'll have to do some research on. I have never heard of any problems with this from the tegu community either, since they're pretty much the must well documented group of reptile keepers using grow tents I might ask around and see what I can find out about this.

While they're used for plants that are meant for human consumption, plants are not normally touching the sides of the tent, are they? And even so, you wash fruits & veggies prior to eating them...at least you should. Just be careful not to "assume" it's safe. Even when you buy new clothing they recommend you wash it prior to wearing it, because the cloth has been treated with various things, yet most of us don't do that. Just want to be very sure with alternative uses, & for sure wipe it down first before using.

I just looked & found this (claim non-toxic):
