Two things I don't like about this are having to work with polyurethane (headaches), and having to wait 3 weeks for the fumes to dissipate. I looked into fiberglass resin and drylok, but not sure how that would turn out with paint beneath. Im also going to post this in the 'DIY' section for others to see.
Haha I just replied to your other thread. You can use FRP (which is generally what is on the lower walls of bathrooms in public places, office buildings, etc. Or they make a PVC equivalent that is flexible, can be cut with a razor blade and glues down with liquid nail. That is what I used, then to seal the seams I used PVC 1/4 round trim and liquid nail.

That will work fine...a lot of people do it....especially if this is for your boa...with the tegu I did the walls the way I did because I figured at some point if she clawed the walls enough she could peel away the coating and expose some wood...will it happen probably not...I tend to over think everything, make this more difficult for myself, and go overkill haha
