Default How long until I can put the snakes back?

I have just used aquarium sealant to seal my Taiwan Beautie's viv. It has dried and the smell is gone (smelt like salt and vinegar!), but the packet says leave for 4 days before filling tank with water...well, I'm not planning to do that obviously, but how long until it's safe for the snakes, since they are currently sat in a warm RUB which they don't seem to mind, but isn't very big.

I normally leave mine for 6 hours or so....sure you could leave it less if needs be......that's plenty....no problems so far

I done mine in the evening and left overnight before putting the snake in it's home. Once the fumes have gone it should be all good
