This one isn't sealed. The next ones I plan on lining the bottom and sides(1 foot up) with fiberglass. I figure a foot up on the sides will keep the poop smearers under control. The fiberglass is the kind they use in showers. It has a rough texture. A 4x8 sheet of it should last a long time. I'm going to stay away from any kind of sealents.

Steve, the shower board liner is a good idea and looks good as well as being easy to clean. I have one thought for you though, cover the side and back completely. Humidity in the viv may over a period of time cause mold to build on the untreated/ uncovered parts and the unsealed wood could also make possible mite problems harder to treat. Just a thought. I still love the vivs.

I use floor polyurethane sealer on the inside of my habitats and let it dry or off gas outside (weather permitting) and have never had a problem with it.

Now wall board like in the shower is a tough to seal the corners and IMO fiberglass is way too much trouble. I build cabinets for a living at Nordic Tug and have tried a lot of methods to keep moisture out, again IMO.

With an open top and front, humidity has never been a problem. My quarantine period is long. Thanks for the ideas and comments.
