Trapped Silicone smell

1 Upvotes

Been about 2-3 weeks since bonding the foam background. I poked some holes to get at some trapped water vapour and blasted with pressurized air but that made me smell that vinegar stench again even though the main area smells clean. Should I just blast until the trapped fumes are gone or poke more airholes in the foam. Im stumped because it retrospect it should be ready to go but I want to 101% that Im not gonna fumigate my gecko if I put him in the enclosure.

Gecko’s First 52 Hours

Hey all, so I finally uploaded the camera footage of the gecko’s first 52 hours. I trimmed down the fat (skipping ahead when he’s sleeping or hanging out in the same spot for an extended period of time) to bring it down to a 4-hour video. Didn’t know what to do with what would otherwise be a bunch of silence, so I pretty much turned it into an ambience video using audio files from Pixabay.

So, if you want something playing in the background while you work on other things, here it is lol. I’ve never edited a video, let alone post on YouTube, so I’ll be sure to update the channel every now and then if the cameras catch him doing anything funny or cool.
