Plastor of paris. Bad?

[zack13]

Hey I was just wondering if anyone know if I can use plaster of paris to make a cave and side and back walls? Or is it bad for my snake and kill him.

Thanks
Zack

Set plaster itself will not harm your reptile but if you don't seal its surface you will eventually have drama's with your structure as it will draw moisture.

ok thank you very much. what would you reccomend i use to seal it any brands that you prefer?

clear laquor would work but ive never used plaster of paris, never thought of it
not a bad idea

I would suggest you initially seal it with bondcrete, also consider fibreglass fibres for reinforcing in the liquid plaster.

ok thanks i will do that. It is coming along ill post pics when it is all done show you how it goes.

there is a product called "sure seal". comes in a can or in a tub for larger quantities . but anything for sealing stone tiles would do the trick and isnt toxic with a good drying time.
