Does anyone have any experience, good or bad, using Blue Tac in a viv?
We have a rock in our female Cuitzeo's viv, which she is quite adept at moving when she wants to. Which makes me think it's not so much use to help her shed if she can move it. So the use I'm thinking is to put a fairly large "pad" of it under the rock to stop the rock sliding over the glass (at the moment I have a folder kitchen towel under it to stop if scratching the glass). So I'm not planning on using any bite-size pieces in an easily accessible place...

It doesn't seem like a good idea. That stuff can get really messy at times. I don't know if it would actually harm the snakes, but I see potential for a stringy blue viv.

Yeah, since posting I've thought that the rock is actually on the warm side, so the bluetac would go softer. I'll be looking for a different way to stop her moving the rock.
Any ideas other than my abandoned blue tac plan?

I was thinking the same! Maybe use a cheap glue gun so you can still remove it. My glue gun glue from the dollar store usually peels right off.
