[QUOTE="CooperDragon, post: 2027947, member: 76248"] I don't envy the lack of air conditioning given the heat wave that is happening there this summer! I hope that will come down to reasonable temperatures soon. As far as the enclosure goes, you'll want to seal it as you mentioned. Since it's particle board I would probably think of adding a laminate or PVC/melamine veneer which will give it a more finished look and also protect against moisture. Contact cement or perhaps wood glue would be a good option for adhering a laminate to the wood. Then you could seal the edges with silicone as you mentioned. Polyurethane is a good option for wood with a tighter grain but might not be best for bare particle board. If you use a laminate then you shouldn't need to seal it once you've adhered it to the board. Either way, give it plenty of time to dry and air out before using. Probably several days for contact cement, less for wood glue. When you start with lighting placement. Set your basking light for an extended period and monitor the temperature under the light and on the other side of the enclosure. If you are having trouble keeping the temperatures down, you might want to cut some holes in the sides to increase airflow. I suggest cutting some circles or rectangles on the low side of the cool end and on the high side of the warm end. That should pull cool air in and send warmer air out by convection. The holes can be covered by a vent grate or a mesh screen. [/QUOTE]
