I've just brought a viv and the bottom bit that runs across the front has come off. Can I use any kinda glue to put it back on or are some harmful to the snake? Obviously I'll be leaving It for a couple of days after to so I thought I'd ask before going ahead and doing it. Somebody told me I can just use super glue and aquarium sealant?

Yeah just like that :) that bottom bit fell out, the sealant has worn away I think. I need to fix it soon as so I can split my corns up.

I'm guessing it was originally fixed with aquarium sealant, that would be the way to go
