Here is a picture below of my enclosure for a snake if it helps, I made it out of 1/2 inch melamine and it's nice and light I think, but still strong and sturdy. I choose melamine because it's sealed and moisture resistant, doesn't require staining, sealing or painting of any kind after which is just one more step, then you have to worry if you choose a safe product to seal, plus it's more work looking around to find something safe to seal or paint it. If you're worried about the melamine not being resistant enough you can put a vinyl dish/liner in the bottom of the melamine enclosure. I used pine timber on the front for the substrate damn and top piece, then used contact on the backsides of the wood, contact is the stuff you line drawers and shelves with, the whole door starts where the substrate damn ends. I made the whole door/window one piece instead of putting in a two piece sliding door/window and I'm very happy I took the one piece hinged door approach with a lower substrate damn over the sliding doors, so much better in my mind.
If you have any questions about my enclosure feel free to ask. Hope I have been of help, this is just one way of doing it, this was my first enclosure.
