Is Duct Tape frog safe?
The title says it all, is duct tape safe for use in frog terrarium? It's a very small amount around the top of their waterfall. Some of it is covered by "great stuff - pond and stone" and rocks I used to make the fall, so it is very hard to remove, or I would just take it off to be safe.. So before I go through all that trouble, Is it toxic? They are Australian whites tree frogs. I have two 13 yr olds and two 6 yr olds)
Thank you for your help!

Some brands of Duct tape are poisonous to humans let alone to frogs if the adhesive side of the tape is exposed to water and then ingested. I would not have duct tape on the inside of my vivarium for any reason.

Re: Is Duct Tape frog safe?
Thank you for your response! The sticky side is not exposed to the water, it was used to hold some piping together so I could seal the rocks in over the pipes...and apparently over some duct tape too :/ . Do you think covering the duck tape completely with more "great stuff" would suffice and seal it away or do I need to redo the waterfall... I probably need to redo the whole thing.. I'm just so close to being done! Their lives are worth more to me than anything though... Thank you again!!

I would redo the whole thing. Water has a way of getting into places we don't intend for it to get. I would be to concerned it could make my frogs sick or kill them to leave it in the tank :/ Sorry.
