New Cage

Postby Jelot92707 » Sun Oct 14, 2007 9:24 am

Hey i was wondering would a 30 gallon breeder be an ok new home for my Izzy. I had a nice tank that i made a while agoe out of plexi but the seals on it are failing so its starting to fall apart so i need to get a new home until i hae to time to make another one for him. The seals aren't made to handle the moisture it was made for a guy with a beardie origanally.

I used a three chem bonding agent (i got from work) that was temp tested to up to 200 deg F and it is only supposed to be used for dry aplications.Since the cage was origanally for a dragon no prob right.
But when i used it for izzy and the humidity in his cage got to hight the moisture must have reacted with the seal and it started to eat at the plexi so it's usless now!
But the next one i will use an epoxy to bond the sides together so it will work for all applications wet or dry.
