Hello All,

I have a 5ft 15yr old Spec caiman and I'm thinking of giving her a whole room in the basement. The rooms walls, floor, and ceiling is concrete. I want to protect by building from moisture issues by placing some kind of sealer, but of course I want something safe for the her.

Any ideals???

i went to home depot when i sealed my croc pond. i cant think of the name of the product that i used but it was a concete sealer it was white and thick.i had no problem with it .i had fish in the pond with no problem. i live in florida. the only problem that i had was from the algae that grew in the pond and it turn the white walls green.arthur

Block tight-loctight or thuro seal

I really like the roll on "Rhyno Liner" stuff. I use it in all of my enclosures and have had no problems.

Something you can do, in your basement, which we did with a few before we made the new setups.

Use concrete blocks to frame out the enclosure/pond. Cement them together and in place. Set it up with the lay out area and pond and then coat all of it in the liner. Like with ours, if you are going to use sand or dirt on the layout, make a lip so that it holds most of the sand from being drug into the pond.
