Hey guys, I've recently entirely constructed a new cage for Lazarus. All I have left to do is cover the carved styrofoam in grout.

What are some safe types of grout?

Also, do I need to seal the grout as well? Or is it fine without being sealed?

Thanks for any help you can offer!

Brandon.
 
I don't know how much help I'll be, because I'm looking for the same answers. However, I've read in older posts that Polyblend is a safe grout brand to use, also that they use a mix of sanded and non sanded (to add textures, ect). People do seal after grouting, from mod podge to watered down gorilla glue and either painting it or spraying it from a cheap water bottle. If you are planning on painting over the grout definitely seal it, as it's water based and if your dragon decides to make a mess, it could be dangerous. I hope this helps a bit as I'm not an expert yet haha :)

The grout always has to be sealed, it's super porous and will absorb any liquid, it will also flake off if you don't seal it. Usually they even seal grout when they put it in for real floors ;P

Yup, ALWAYS seal the grout! I use Mod Podge Hard Coat for all my DIY platforms. :D

And since it is going to be sealed, it doesn't matter what brand of grout you use. I always just grab whatever's cheapest LOL.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
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!
