Hey, I am thinking about making a fake rock background for my corn snake. I think I have most of the information that I need, but I am wonering about one more thing: Do you use tile grout or tile adhesive or are they the same thing? Sorry, this might be a stupid question. Thank you for your advice!

I've not looked into tile setting for a while but I'll give this a shot.
Tile grout can be used at times as a tile adhesive. However, there are tile adhesives that are not used as tile grouts.
My guess is that most tile adhesives would be innapropriate for a fake rock background.
To be safe use the grout. Unless someone chimes in and corrects me.

Are you talking about "Thinset" when you're refering to tile adhesive. Tile is often set into thinset as its adhesive. If that's what you mean, I would recommend thinset for making fake rocks. It has an adhesive additive in it already. I have used it and it works well for rocks. I've also added "Fix-All" to it in order to add strength, and shorten the drying time.
Here's some rocks I built with that combo, and then painted and sealed with resin.
Hope this helps.
