I am building a concrete slab with radiant heat(pipes that run through the slab with hot water). I wanting to make a cement pond 7ftW x 10ftL x 3ftD for a caiman. Is there anything that I can put on the cement to protect the caiman's feet from rubbing raw? What kind of spray or rubber paint for example, can I use that would be non-toxic?

The caiman is about 4 ft. long and growing.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

please, as soon as you got your pond done, post some pics... I´ll build one and looking for some ideas..

thanks

use one coat gunzite primer, one coat zeron epoxy
Your cement pond must cure for 30 days before painting. It will be completely water proof
