Homemade branches

[CJ's Exotics]

Yes i do. They barely smell the only time i can smell it is if i put them up to my face. It’s cold here in Michigan still at night it’s low 20s

Just be careful.

Your welcome.

Do you know what coco fiber is? Where did you hear that?

Yes I do know what this is.
In Germany everyone advise against cocos fiber cause of the reasons I mentioned.
But maybe we Germans are a bit overreacting .
We do so many things different when keepig reptiles compared to America

The branches have a bit of loose coco fiber is it safe to put in his cage like that or should i brush it off?

@InvisibleShad0w said..."We do so many things different when keepig reptiles compared to America"...I'd like to know what you do differently. Can you give me some examples please?

Are you thinking of the "chunky" like substrate? I'm thinking of the really fine one, like the really compressed bricks.

If there is loose coco fiber how do i get it off

Sorry, I didn't mean it offensively, I just wanted to make sure we were thinking of the same thing. How do you know I am from the U.S.?

Have you put in the branches? I think you used the wrong silicone, that may explain the lack of odor of some sort. I think that Silicone 1 is the one to use, and the guy in the video probably uses silicone 1. I'm not sure, so please try to verify.

I haven’t put them in yet. I will try to find out

How strong is the odor suppose to be?

Silicon 2 caulk is what's called a "neutral cure" silicone, which means no acids are released during the curing process (as there are in silicon I* caulk). This enables silicon 2 caulk to adhere to a broader range of substrates such as plastics, concrete, and metals.

So all the acids stay in the silicone? Are they still safe to use

Silicone 1 has a strong vinegar like smell.

A neutral cure silicone is a sealant which releases alcohol or another non-acidic substance whilst curing . The sealant has virtually no or has completely no odour.

Just give it the full time to cure and you should be ok try reading the tube to make sure it’s a neutral cure i don’t know if it would say it or all #2 silicon indicates it’s a neutral cure
