Just a thought here, but maybe you could use the plumbers putty, then once that is area is dry, apply something over it? I was thinking greatstuff foam. Guys that build dart frog tanks use it all the time inside their vivariums, so it is completely safe. Once it's dry you can coat it with black silicone, and then while the silicone is still tacky cover with co-co fiber (It's the stuff that comes as a compressed brick and you expand in hot water). This last step wouldn't do much structurally, just simply hide the ugly yellow foam.



That said, I don't know if this is in a location where your lil' guy would have access to it. I hear they have sharp claws, and this might shred the silicone/coco fiber, thus leaving greatstuff foam showing.



If you need a visual of the method I'm talking about (I know I'm a visual person), google dart frog vivariums. The process is very well documented on several forums. Email me and I'll send you the link to a specific forum.



This might not work, someone else might chime in here, but seems like a good route to me.
