I was just reading Preventing Escape by Jennifer Macke
Caudata Culture Articles - Preventing Escape, a well-written article which gave me the idea that I can use foam around some gaps, but one thing disturbed me, two references to duct tape being used to create a wide rim to prevent escape. Why did it upset me? Well just earlier today I came across a rather gory article about 1 bird, 1 salamander and two frogs getting stuck in glue traps and dying miserably. Never mind that it was actually 1 bird, 1 skink and 2 toads in the photo, the point is that, especially if the caudate hasn't just emerged from the water, there is a good chance it could stick to to exposed sticky surfaces, and die there.
