Enclosure Sealant

I've just painted an enclosure but I want to seal the inside to make it water resistant,

I was wondering if anyone knew of something that will be safe for my python.

Hey,
You can do a search and you'll probably find the answer, but to save you time I have used successfully over the years an external decking paint, ie solarguard or whatever your hardware keeps.
Do atleast 3 coats though and that should be fine...make sure you leave it for atleast a week or more, the longer the better for it to go off and the smell to dissapear.
Cheers...

To seal the inside, use a water based silicone. I cant remember what brand it was, but If you read the backs of the tubes at the hardware store. You will find one with a small pic of a fish tank on it. Safe for fish, safe for pythons...

OK thanks Andy

I've filled all the nooks and crannies with Putty and theyve been painted over so really all I'll need is the Solarguard or whatever I find
