DIY Enclosure Construction Tips for my Jungle Carpet

Hey all!

I'm starting to plan the construction of my full sized enclosure for Spectre my Jungle carpet python.

I was wondering if any of you DIY gurus had any advice on what materials to use. From what I understand the basic options I have are ply-wood, melamine and acrylic. Are there any other good materials for the frame? Is there some kind of opaque plastic sheeting that could be used (like many of the commercial terrariums)?

My main concern with wood is hygiene but I understand that properly sealing the wood can solve that problem to a certain degree. I haven't figured out dimensions quite yet but i'm playing with a 4'Wx2'Dx3'H so light materials would be key.

Thanks in advance for all the tips guys,
- G
