    Dual(wet/dry) enclosures are full of inherent problems and many can lead to poor health for the snake.
    Just my opinion.

    chances are you will have to strip the old silicone off and redo it, if its leaking now, probably all the silicone is dried out, or bad. Silicone is cheap, its not expensive. I think i paid like $4 or $5 a tube for it, and a tube goes a long ways depending on how thick you put it on.

    But if you do just patch it, one tube should do you, but you will be doing it again later since the new silicone wont stick to the old stuff that great.

    I dont want to make it so I can hold water I just want it to be as if I could. The old siacone or what ever it is is dry and all needs to be replaced. So before I used it Iwanted to redue it all to secure it better( make it like new) I am still going to use a bowl for water like I am now and everyhting will be the same as now but A LOT bigger. I am also looking for a cheap cheap lid. Hard to find and it sux.

    If it doesn't need to hold water, why bother? Tanks made for reptiles don't hold water even when they're new. Or at least, the glass isn't rated to hold the pressure.

    I wouldn't use anything but clear silicone that is specifically for "aquarium" use.

    Definitely. It's just a bad idea.
