i used melamine for my tegu tank and its doing good. It also doesnt soak up water very easily so when i have to spray my tank the tank wont suck up the water..or the tegus poo. This will help the tank not smell and only the substrate will have to be changed

it is wood that is covered in a white plasticy type of material. I dont know exactly how much it is but i built a full 80ish gallon tank and it cost me 100 bucks for material not including glass. The tank was 4' x 21" x 21"

no just the wood. with absolutly everything i payed around:
100 - wood
50 - uv light
20 - bulb and fixture
50 - plexi glass
decorations - 30 to 50ish
and than i had some extra wood around my garage and stuff to add a little more professinal look to it. And i also had the vents but if i didnt they would have cost me 10 bucks each.
