I've lurked long enough to know there are people here working extensively with plastics.

I'm planning on building a 4x2x2 for a lizard, with an interior mounted incandescent fixture for basking lights.

Will the heat cause problems if using XPVC? The basking area will be 110-120F.

I realize XPVC is great for snake enclosures and racks, fine with belly heat and RHPs. But what about basking lights? What will it do to the material?

I will have more than adequate ventilation, so heat will not build up inside.

Thanks in advance.
