"When I was a kid, my uncle had a caiman enclosure set up that held a few caiman that were 5-6ft ... this enclosure was nothing pretty, it was just a basic box made out of plywood with a 2x4 frame. It was siliconed and water sealed with thomsons water sealer I believe, amazingly it worked quit well.
Thats might be something to look into
or same basic wood idea but after its built, lay a fiberglass coating inside.
I remember seeing some website online that showed how to build huge fish tanks ... they were 3 sides (back, righ and left) made out of wood and the front was thick plexi ... the builder siliconed, water sealed and then did a coating inside with some type of fiberglass or epoxy

I´ve also seen enclosures mada of plywood an sealed with Rhino Lining.. also check this link

also thik the plywood coated with fiberglass is a great idea

cheers

Rick
