I'm just about finished with the fake rock climb/hide for my new viv, but wondering if I should seal the slate flooring too? I have slate in the current tank and I love it, but wondering if I should seal it to make it less porous/more sanitary? I plan to seal it with aquarium silicone to keep nasties from underneath the tiles.

I am considering siliconing the hide to the floor too, is that a good or bad idea?

I am note sure how to advise you on sealing the slate or not, I use ceramic tiles that are slightly textured but still very easy to clean myself. But I personally would not attach the hide down unless the opening is large enough for you to reach in and easily pull them out should the need arise. I always like that if they are hiding/brumating I can easily look in on them to watch for anything abnormal.

Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
