Adhesive Shelf Liner/Wall Paper

[PogoLover]

I currently have a glass vivarium for Lucky. I was thinking about building a cage or buying one of the custom cages, but building will take a while and custom is expensive. In the meantime, even though I have put fabric/glass covering on the outside of the glass viv I am currently using, he can still see his reflection and I think is sometimes getting spooked by reflections and glare coming off the glass.

I was thinking that I could put vinyl or pvc shelf liner or wallpaper on the INSIDE of the tank, so that there would no longer be any glare/reflections off of the glass. There are a lot of options out there. My QUESTION is - has anyone tried this, do we know whether it is safe (e.g., fumes from the plastic or heat issues)?

Shelf liner is great. Comes in lots of different colors & patterns. BUT it has to be NON-adhesive otherwise it WILL give off toxic fumes under the lights. You could use transparent scotch tape to hold it on the sides of the tank.

Thanks - that is what I was worried about!

I'm glad you asked. Here's a link showing lots of different colors & patterns of the non-adhesive. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_c_0_12?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=non-adhesive+shelf+liner&sprefix=non-adhesive%2Caps%2C172&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Anon-adhesive+shelf+liner
