monkey pod- do i use silicone?

[ColleenT]

i thought i read someone uses silicone to line their monkeypods. is this necessary? I can do that, just wondering if that is the norm.

[ColleenT]

well i did use a clear silicone inside the 2 i got. can't hurt. i'll put a little bit of dechlorinated water in one of them and see how it looks once i get everything. Still waiting on a lid and Springtails, Mantella wood, and cocnut hut

I don't silicone mine, but I don't see the harm in it. Planing to use it for a water bowl?

[ColleenT]

no, but i have seen pics where people have used them just as a decoration, but have a little bit of water in them, as they sit at a tilt. i saw that a bunch of springtails were around it. so i guess i just like the way they look.

I have a few as decoration also. They do collect and hold water naturally and resist breaking down long term. You dont HAVE to silicone them unless you want to. I think the silicon will take away from the cool look they get when wet.
