what kind if there is one of caulk that is toxic to turtles im using damp alex plus for windows, doors, trim, and siding for a basking area

[untsmurf]

do you mean caulk? And I'm pretty sure they are all toxic, that's why you have to let it set for a long time before putting any animals in the enclosure.

sorry about the spelling

[oobie58]

so what do i use

[untsmurf]

Well I don't have a lot of experience with it, but I'd say just go with aquarium glue.

[oobie58]

k, thank u

I know silicone makes a great aquarium glue, and shouldn't be poisonous if cured properly. You can find it in the form you put in a caulking gun at most hardware stores.

There's silicone specifically made for Aquariums since it's safe, you can find it at a hardware stores and it's really cheap and you know it'll be safe.

Thanks guys. Sorry about the spelling. I was in a hurry and writing on my psp which has a cruddy on screen keyboard that is really hard to write with or at least i think. But thank u so much for the comments on the caulk. I was about 3 seconds away from using window caulk until i started thinking about what i was about to do and realized. Better check the forum for this. you guys are life savers or turtle savers. thanx.

you can always click the "edit icon" on the top right of your post. Or you can wait for me to add into the sensor list...

For the caulk, you can get All-Glass Aquarium sealant. They sell small tubes of the stuff too, depending on how much you need.

Never use silicone made for kitchens and bathrooms, they do contain chemicals like mildewcides and fungicides.
