    Question Hide/Background Material Reccomendations?

    So I recently got a larger enclosure for my ball python which is 4x2x2 ft. I want to make it bioactive, but in the case that doesn't work out/I need to change setup because of life circumstances, I want it to be easy to clean and disinfect. I have done A LOT of research over the months of planning for this and have everything else lined out, but I'm a little stumped on how I want to create my background. I thought about buying a 3D printed custom background that comes in a few pieces or just making my own. The problem I'm running into is that I'm not sure what the best, most durable, and easiest to clean material for this project would be. I do not want to opt for the foam background with substrate route since it would make it hard to fully disinfect if I do end up not having a bioactive setup at some point. If anyone has suggestions, such as where to buy, what materials would be best to use if I DIY, etc... that would be super appreciated! I'm willing to spend more money for something that is quality, and I have some basic DIY skills and the determination to design something myself if need be LOL

    TLDR, I'm looking for suggestions on materials or people to commission for a custom ball python background and hides, with these qualities:
    - good durability/ longevity
    - safe material for reptiles (duh)
    - easy to take out (multiple pieces, etc...)
    - can be cleaned/disinfected thoroughly without damage
    - withstand humidity and heat

    I'm willing to put in the money/time/effort to get what I want done :) Also, any other general advice for making cool yet reliable ball python enclosures (such as your sworn by supplies) is appreciated. Thanks!
