Curio Cage Build

[akmihelle]

Hey guys,
Im looking to build my veiled cham an enclosure out of a curio cabinet. I just need some tips on products such as foam for a back ground and a drainage system. I had some questions on the foam. As ive seen others use it.. will it melt with a basking spot reaching over 85 degrees? Also, should i seal the wood to make the the wood will not get water damage, if so whats a safe product i can use? I have already sealed the cracks with 100 percent silicone and has been curing for over a month now and will cure more as it will take me time to finish it. But my big question is what to do about drainage. I was thinking making a wood plate the same shape as where i want it and also have some wood facing up so it would drain down then put a pond liner down and a drain with PVC and a bucket. I have posted a picture of what i am wanting to use. I also will of course be breaking out some glass for ventilation and adding mesh, so dont worry she will have ventilation Any advise or opinions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you so much you guys!

I have looked. However, I just wanted some opinions of what people think i should do for this exact structure. If you dont wanna help, dont comment. Some people may not even like the idea of this being turned into an enclosure, i just wanted thoughts and opinions to point me in a direction for this being turned into an enclosure and some questions i personally have. I have not found a drainage system on this site that would be ideal for me or the structure of this cage and havrnt found any on some of the questions i have, then again i didnt go through all thousands of the threads like you expect me too right? Thank you tho.
