    Re: first rack? plywood.

    you can use plywood just put a non toxic sealer on it just to be safe.

    you can get a great thermostat here

    Re: first rack? plywood.

    Use Rust-Olium indoor/outdoor LATEX based paint. Very water resistant and looks really nice. Also, one coat is sufficient. Cures in 24hrs as well.

    That's the stuff I use on racks and cages alike and it's great! And yes, plywood is quite safe, you just want to make it water resistant or it warps something awful.
