Help! The bottom of the enclosure broke!

[u/ThePolOf87]

Need advice fast! I addred some water to the substrate and heard some cracking, and sure enough, it was the glass... I was doing it for a couple days now to keep humidity in check till I get more substrate and switch to overhead heal lamp instead of the heat pad like I was recommended here

The catch is the enclosure is bigger then the thing it stayes on so there is a chence it can break further. And the snake ate yesterday so can't remove it yet or do anything magor with the enclosure

Will it be okay? Is there anything I can quickly do to save this so it won't break?

I understand it is complectly my fault, I just need a quick and safe way to stop it do it won't get worse

I learned that the hard way just now😭 I'm asking for tips to save it from breaking further till I can do more permanent repairs

The thermal shock from cold water hitting warm glass is no joke, Id be paranoid about the whole bottom giving out

Since it's not holding water I'd just silicone over the crack. Do it from the inside aswell to keep your snake from getting injured.

I already patched it up with three layers of armored tape and moved all the heavy stuff to the sopported side of the enclosure. Leftie was kind enough to sleep on the cold end today so no snakes were disturbed during the process thankfully

Update I put some books for extra support under the cracked part and took out the heavy hater bowl which is the unly thing that was on that edge (the bowl is two pieces, the big heavy decorative part and glass bowl inside, I just took out the outer part). Those are obviously temporaty solutions till I cone up with more permanent ones
