I need some Styrofoam for my upcoming enclosures. Does anyone know where I can buy\source some thick(ish) sheets?

Been googling like crazy with no luck

Would polyurethane foam work? Guess I'm asking if it is toxic?

hi Swifty

i get mine from an art shop in centurion mall, dont know where u from but try some art shops

dont know if its toxic, but here is what i found

"Health and safetyFully reacted polyurethane polymer is chemically inert.[23] No exposure limits have been established by OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) or ACGIH (American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists). It is not regulated by OSHA for carcinogenicity. Polyurethane polymer is a combustible solid and can be ignited if exposed to an open flame.[24] Decomposition from fire can produce mainly carbon monoxide, and trace nitrogen oxides and hydrogen cyanide. Firefighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus in enclosed areas.

Liquid resin blends and isocyanates may contain hazardous or regulated components. They should be handled in accordance with manufacturer recommendations found on product labels, and in MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) and product technical literature. Isocyanates are known skin and respiratory sensitizers, and proper engineering controls should be in place to prevent exposure to isocyanate liquid and vapor. Proper hygiene controls and personal protective equipment (PPE), such as gloves, respirators, and protective clothing and eye wear should be used.

In the United States, additional health and safety information can be found through organizations such as the Polyurethane Manufacturers Association (PMA) and the Center for the Polyurethanes Industry (CPI), as well as from polyurethane system and raw material manufacturers. In Europe, health and safety information is available from ISOPA,[25] the European Diisocyanate and Polyol Producers Association. Regulatory information can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations Title 21 (Food and Drugs) and Title 40 (Protection of the Environment)."

any other takes?

"chemically inert" says it all right?

" noble gases were previously known as inert gases because of their perceived lack of participation in any chemical reactions."

Hi there

I bought the ones I use at a place called Hyper Packaging. I know most packaging places will stock it, and have different thickness sheets as well.

Please make sure when you use the styrofoam, you cover it with something to make it stronger and not reachable for the T...

The reason for this, if the T sees it can break it or nibble on it...it will. My G.pulchripes, B.albopilosum, L.parahybana and most recently my P.regalis thought they didn't like it the way it was and started breaking piece by piece of it off...... Results: Looks like it was snowing inside the enclosure.

Now I cover it with a layer of grouting...advice I got from another friend on the forum.
