It is a type of paint you might want to thin the first coat 20% or so to get better penetration and it will take a few coats.

Re: MDF Tips?
Not much progress so far. Just some electrical wiring done, a few more adjustments made. Hopefully ill have this weekend off and get around to sealing it. What do yall think so far?
Looks good, my only issue is the heat lamps, how are you going to keep the animal in the cage from touching/burning themselves on the bulbs? (or will there be a terrestrial lizard in there?

Re: MDF Tips?
The bottom will house a uromastyx, so no worries there. The top is for a BP. I am going to have to build a nice metal cage around the bulbs, hopefully with the desert lizard underneath. Plus the UTH that will be under the ceramic tile, I shouldnt have to worry about the overhead lights in the top cage. Well see after I get it sealed, and the glass doors installed. It should hold its heat pretty well.

Ok. Just making sure. This cage looks sweet.

Re: MDF Tips?
Yeah, I like it so far. If you noticed on the bottom one I raised a 5" wall so I can add alot of substrate for the Uromastyx. With them being big burrowers I figured it was a neccessity.
First time I ever wired anything (except speakers). Lets just say it was a decent learning experience.

Wow, the wiring looks pretty good (I'm an electrical engineer)
And the raised wall is a great idea.
