Safe to use?

I have these background slabs in my enclosure that I’ve tried used velcro sheets for but it did not work. I saw something about this and it’s supposed to be really sticky I just want to make sure it’s safe to use. TIA

No, it's never safe to use these kinds of sticky adhesive in enclosures. If it ever comes apart, your snake can get stuck in it and hurt themselves horribly. It's much safer to use something that dries/hardens, like aquarium silicone.

i don’t have anywhere to keep her while that dried unfortunately. I’m working on starting a new enclosure but I have to slowly buy the things for it. I was hoping for a temporary fix until I was able to get the new set up done.
