Just bought a used 125, it had a 15’ snake in it, and the seams don’t look good to my untrained eye. What do y’all think?AE86B801-7E64-4D9E-84CC-410A23C7139F.jpegC8E11076-01C0-4BF5-ADDF-CF0213537FAB.jpegBF8EAB8E-79E4-499C-B11C-279D0300F667.jpeg65EC03F7-684A-4B2E-BB25-DE84D6EB05D2.jpeg0FD54FE6-C3C9-4BA1-A9F8-4D07C02081B9.jpeg8F1CD79B-CB73-4100-9BAD-4CFD81F60C3A.jpeg
 
That silicone looks awful Brian. The thing which would scare me most though is how deep the damage is to the silicone, meaning it may not just be the sealing bead which is ruined, but the important bit that actually holds the tank together too.

Guys, in this instance would you recommend a complete rebuild of the tank or does Brian just take a flyer on it and redo the seal part?
 
It probably damaged from heat lamp and especially UV lamps. Not worth resealing. Sell it to a reptile keeper and start over
