I was wondering if anyone might know what I can use to fix/seal/replace the back peice of glass in a 12x12x18 Exo-terra Cage; Fedex dropped the box that this was in. I would much rather fix this then throw it way. I would appreciate any suggestions

Try taking it to an Ace Hardware store if there is one near you. Some of them have glass replacement operations.

duct tape!

no, seriously...... that'll be the easiest way.

Or aquarium silicone, just apply some to all the cracks and let it dry good before adding animals.

I'd use a combo of both Cliff and Kevin's suggestions. I'd spread aquarium silicone on all the cracks and smooth it out (both sides) first and let it dry. Then I'd go back over it and put duct tape or gorilla tape over top of that. You'll probably get the best life span out of it if you use it for a dry environment rather than a moist humid one. Be careful with the duct tape if you use it on the inside of the enclosure. It can do very bad things to a geckos delicate skin if they somehow get stuck to it. And just FYI, aquarium sealent can be found at most any Home Depot type store in the caulking section.

Thanks for the suggestions. I think I will have to take a trip to The Home Depot tonight and get the sealent... I'll be using this cage for a gecko, do you think it would be ok with the humidity if I just left a foam background infront of the fixed glass?

Was it Not Insured?

[crestedgal]

No it was and the company sent a new one out the next day, but if I fix it I'll have an extra cage just incase I want to get more cresties or if one of my two ends up to be a boy.

So I went to lowes and picked up Silicone II, which is a clear waterproof caulk. I'm going to seal it tonight, then let you know how it works out
