Mike,
There are ways to make a drain lizard proof but I don't much see the need, a drain for a water source is great but a drain for seapage is ridiculous. Control the water better. Manual rotate the soil ever so often and use plenty of heat eventually you'll get a great reciepe. Besides Monitors frequently rotate their own soil.
Regardless I think FRP is still a good choice for the walls as its easy to apply to a vetical surface astetically pleasing durable and relativly easy to clean. However epoxy is a good choice for the flooring, most epoxies aren't the best looking and if you screw up no one will see. I can see the two products working well together.
Actually when I designed my Iguana cages there were no caulked seams the soil was contained in a bed pan and the sides overlaped. It was pretty complicated but it will never get built. I might try a bedpan of epoxy and press with the sides in FRP.
Best of Luck
