Just a friendly "heads up," with the amount of humidity needed for Burmese pythons you should seal the inside of the cage. It will prolong the life of the wood & make it easier to keep a moderate & consistent amount of humidity. The bare wood acts like a wick and draws moisture out of the air.
I don't know if you'd be able to get that sheathing to take anything (paint, poly, etc,) without it peeling the wood chips or not. The aquarium background stuff you have may work OK to cover that sheathing as long as you seal every edge good. Contact paper is another option.
If push came to shove you could cover the sheathing with something like plexiglass, polyurethane the other lumber, and use silicone to seal where the plexi meets the sealed wood.
Take care!
