I DID THE SAME THING! lol i read her instructions and she something like "after i applied the sealer i threw sand on it it didnt work so i just spray painted it" i figured why put a sealer on if it was just gonna be spray painted... what do you mean it ate through the grout like the grout started to come off? i used the same exact spray paint that she did but i havent seen it yet lol i spray painted it at about 3pm and left it in the backyard since i worked at 4pm today right before i left i touched it it was already dried and seemed fine... so what do you mean it ate through the grout and foam.

Ha ha yeah I don't think i put a thick enough layer ofgrout it didn't eat through all the way! I just sprayed in a test spot then skipped that step went straight to tex paint then the matching sealer it's ok I think I just thought it would be harder

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
