DIY Display cage

I am starting to draw up some plans to build a display cage for my snakes and beardie. I am wondering what I could use for the back. I will be keeping a few snakes that require high humidity so I'd like to find something that I can use for the back besides melamine. Something that is cheaper and will be alright with high moisture.

Another question is, should I build the display cages individually or just make them into one large display cage with individual cages? I'm thinking about one unit rather than multiple but I'm starting to think multiple will be easier especially using all melamine.

Also, if I go with multiple units, will they be alright stacked one on top of another, say 4 high?

Heres the one i built. I used the prefinished plywood from my cabinet material supplier

Thanks, those sites helped a lot. Now my question is with heating. Can I use a radiant heating panel with pythons? Or should I use some heat tape and maybe use a piece of glass or tile siliconed to the bottom?

The lights have a tap sensor that controls all of them at once, i got them from Lowes.
