Hey guys!
I want to make a DIY hide made out of sticks for my tort. It will be a bunch of sticks glued together to form an arch. The only problem is I'm not sure if the glue I'm going to use is safe; it says non-toxic but I will post images to be safe.
Also, any specific types of trees that are not safe? I'm planning to use pomagrante branches, the tree is 15 years old and we don't use any chemicals on it.
Thanks!

A glue gun glue would work better just becaus it would take hold quicker. Not sur elmers will hold up thru water/humidity.
If the wood your using smells like the fruit the tort might try taking a bite out of it.

I think you’d have great success using pure silicone. As for twigs that would be safe, as long as you don’t see your tortoise eating any or trying to eat it y’all be fine.
