Awesome work man!

[reptiles_galore]

i thought you cant use water based ones becuase of misting the viv it will cause the pva glue to turn back to liquid form?

The viv looks great but i have to agree with this - PVA can ONLY be used for dry setups like leopard gecko or beardie vivs. For moist setups you really need to use sealants such as epoxy resin or G4 (this is what ill be using for my water dragon setup)

To prolong the life of your setup i would consider sealing it properly

Great looking set up! I wish I could start building mine. I will back up whats been said though as PVA is water soluble, so be careful. Im sure ingestion of PVA will spell trouble. It would be easy to remove though.

i have tested the water solubleness of the PVA before i even had the glass

( but i will be using other sealents next time, another newbie mistake lol)

i sprayed it WAY more than i needed to and it staryed hard, once its hardened it is impossible to make it wet and watery again. ( may be able to with higher humidity but its not a risk with my humidity levels.

but thanks for your concern

I spent a small fortune on yatch varnish when doing mine, and now my husband seems to have lost it (more than likely used it!)

This i will look forward to seeing, your set ups are awesome chondro. I keep looking at your dart frog viv for inspiration for when i finally find a space to squeeze one in!
