As always, you should be making cage modifications BEFORE a snake/reptile goes in there! If its an existing cage, put the snake in a temporary cage while you are working on it. Sorry, its a rule of snake keeping. Always has been, always will be.

Common sense.

Super Glue is not a good choice to attach stuff in a tank. Aquarium silicone or hot glue is better and safer and follow Jeff's advice.

I agree with jwsporty. Go for the aquarium silicone or hot glue.

Use aquarium silicone, it is safer than superglue.

It depends what you are glueing. If you are sealing something use silicon or caulk, but if you are glueing something permanently you may want to use something stronger like liquid nails. Make sure you follow Jeff's advice.

i did plan before i did it, just so happens i didn't plan things to break/crack on me

wat snaped was my vent's mesh, wanted to glue'em together and was wondering if the glue would give off fumes later on.
