Enclosure Q's from U'z guys
Okay I'm on the verge of building my 6x2x2 Enclosure and aI need help. I want my Enclosure to look good and be functional. I really dislike the looks of melimine for my decor. I looked in home Lowes last night and I saw a kind of wood called Aspen board. Strong, beautiful and sturdy. I also plan on linolium covering the inside of the enclosure completly. Do you think that along with mold proof caulk will prevent molding/mildew when I start to keep the humidity in there constantly up?

Keep in mind you still have to have ventilation for the cage. Caulking the corners will be fine, just make sure you have enough ventilation to keep air exchange while not too much to lose the humidity. Keep the cage cleaned as you should and you won't have a problem with mold.

Re: Enclosure Q's from U'z guys
Don't use linoleum, use formica. It's a zillion times easier to clean and sanitize, it doesn't stain, and I believe it looks aesthetically much much better.
Be sure to put vents in the sides for ventillation, and caulking all the corners and seams should be just fine.  |
