Is modge podge safe for reptiles as a sealant ?

[Benclark]

So this is not specifically chameleon-related but a general reptile question. I am trying to make a water pool for my Chinese water dragon, but to make it hold water I need some kind of sealant and modge podge came to mind. It says it's nontoxic but defiantly wanted to check with the experts. The idea is to coat the inside of the pool to make it water proof.

It may be safe—IDK—but I don't think it's appropriate for the task; Mod podge is intended for decoupage—not pond lining.

I would use a couple/three/four coats of flex seal liquid (It comes in a variety of colors) or something used for aquariums/ponds—maybe a commercial pond liner.

Just FYI, there's a forum for other reptiles...

Thanks so much! I used the liquid flex seal which worked wonderfully. I made the pool out of clay and just coated it with the flex seal. Loch is very happy with it.
