I just wonder if 1) it would keep humidity and 2) if it would deteriorate under the humidity required. _________________ Laura R (FL)

Does anyone here think it is bad to use pegboard for the back wall of an enclosure?
I plan on using flexwatt to heat the enclosure and place it in the back of the enclosure. I would of course use the pegboard to cover the tape.
Hey Liz It's good to have you here. If you waterproof the pegboard with an outdoor spar urethane, it should not mildew. You can get the same material without the holes too...its called 'hardboard' and is available in various thicknesses. Quarter inch would be ideal for your application. Both hardboard and spar urethane (Varathane) are available at home centers such as Home Depot etc.

[/b]Hey Txrepgirl Thanks for the welcome!
I've had a bunch o' herps over the years...iggs, caimans,
monitors, alligators...the list goes on. Somehow, I've never
yet had a Tegu, although I've always liked 'em.
I'm leaning toward a B&W Arg, and will probably do well to wait until I've got a larger place.
It's good to be here!
