Snake rack out of plywood?

[zach_24_90]

so would it be ok to build my snake rack out of plywood as lond as i coated/sealed all the parts that would be exposed to the actual snakes with polycrylic? ive read that that would be ok but i just wanted to get your guys opinion?

I wouldnt as plywood Sags Faster than Melamine.

[zach_24_90]

they dont sell the melamine sheets around here.. so im kinda SOL. but i mean for $60 if it sags in a year i can replace it? i jsut need to know if its ok for the snakes

Its fine, But once it gets wet it swells and then sags.

You can try to find Oak,Birch,and other Hard woods. Their about 35-40 per sheet and are very strong and wont sag. Would have to seal the inside where the snakes would be exposed to to stop moisture from getting into the wood.

yeah i have done my research and found that a lot of people use the polycrylic to seal it
