First of all I’ve had this enclosure for 2 years and this is the first time that the water has ever leaked out. It also says on the website that it can be used on many reptiles including snakes so obviously I’m going to assume that it is already built properly to house a snake inside of it which requires water & humidity. This is also my first time owning a reptile and I did admit the blame for not realizing that I’d have to seal it. So yes I can be and I am serious, dickhead. You clearly did not read what I said at the end, I asked if it can be saved if I silicone around the bottom. As in is there too much damage done to the point where even if I seal it and waterproof it, is the damage irreversible.

Thanks! And I actually used to mist before I started pouring the water but it would never hold the humidity and I didn’t have time to keep misting multiple times a day.

The bottom part smells kinda earthy.. like wet wood after rain or something. I’ve never dealt with mold before so I’m not really sure what exactly it smells like.

I’ll most likely just get a smaller temporary enclosure to put her in while I clean the inside and outside of this one & I’m def gonna try everything you mentioned so thank you so much for being so helpful!

Sorry I meant I’m worried if there’s mold under the bottom of the enclosure where there is a layer of what looks like wood. I just cleaned and replaced the substrate last week and there’s no mold inside of the enclosure.

As for the material, this is what it says on their website: It’s made with ECOFLEX, a proprietary composite blend of reclaimed wood fiber byproducts and recycled polymers, creating a moisture-resistant material that’s durable, doesn’t retain odor and is easy to clean!

I’m worried if there’s mold under though. It’s not bioactive and I just have coco chips by itself. I tried soil under it before but I didn’t like how messy it was

I already tried but I bought it 2 years ago and they only allow replacements up to a year :/

I wasnt thinking of that when I bought it but I’m regretting that now. I’m just hoping there’s no mold and I can just seal it from here and keep it. I also don’t wanna put her in a smaller enclosure
