Silicone/sealant safe for use in terrarium?

[hereces]

Can anyone recommend a silicone/sealant safe for use in a terrarium?

You can use any product that is 100% silicone. They are available at hardware stores or Walmart and they will come in various colors including clear. Just make sure you do not have any pets in the cage at the time you are using it and that it has fully cured with no odor before you put them back in. Silicone has a very strong smell to it as it is drying and the fumes could harm your pets. Once it is fully cured and no longer smells it is completely safe.

Just pop into your local fish shop, they should sell aquarium safe silicone, which should be ok for you to use.

So I'm new to owning frogs. I'm wanting to get red eyed tree frogs. I am currently getting my vivarum together. We used a expanding foam to create terrain. We were told to seal it using a silicon sealant spray, we can't find any where we live. We need a spray to cover the area since a caulk won't work. The closest thing we find is Thompsons water seal, but are worried it may be toxic to the frogs. Any ideas or suggestions?

Savannah,
I have never used the foam product , nor sealer.
But a do agree with you re: the water seal would be toxic!

I'm sure you will get some advice regarding this.
Maybe do a forum search? I know I have seen threads about this - recently.

Pn the expanding foam bottle does it say that it is waterproof/for use outside? Because usaully if it says that you dont need to seal it. but I sealed mine with pond sealer, Its just a tub of siliconish stuff that you paint on,
