Frogs and Acrylic Cement Question

frogger Sep 18, 2006 11:47 AM

Well first I would like to thank everyone again for helping me with my Red-Eyes. The remaining two look like they are doing fine so I will wait awhile before introducing more into the tank. At least I was able to keep 2 alive!

Well now I am considering building another terrarium, this one being 24" x 24" x 36" tall. This will be my first time actually constructing the tank from just sheets of Plexiglass. My question is, can I use Weld-On #16 Acrylic Cement to construct the tank? I know that there are other silicone based products that specifically say they are non-toxic to animals, but I didn't think they would have a strong enough bond to hold the sides together. I bought the tube, which is in the picture, from Josh's Frogs website. I would assume it is safe, since I bought it from his site, but I wanted to double check. Thanks to anyone who replies with information, I would like my first tank construction to not start off badly.
