gaboonviper posted the idea to laminate shower board onto plywood or mdf and use that as my waterproof sheets for making cages. I do like the lightly textured look of the showerboard and I have used it for cages I made for a game and fish department to use as display cages. It works great but I don't use it for the floor because it is lightly textured and complicates cleaning. At cleaning time, I often have to resort to a paint scraper to get the stuck-on residue off the cage floor and a perfectly smooth surface is best for that. For snakes like Indigos, which occasionally shoot their waste onto the walls, again, a smooth surface is best.

That said, shower board is a great material for less fire-hosey snakes, and much less expensive. Good tip.
