I am currently building a new tortoise table. I do plan on placing a tarp on the bottom of the enclosure for extra resistance but I am wondering if the Rust-Oleum Bed Truck spray coating is safe to use for my Hermanns tortoise? With the lighting and everything is this an okay option? If I am coating it with a sealant, can I use any wood? any specific wood suggestions besides plywood?

Many people on the forum recommend making or buying PVC enclosures as they are totally resistant to moisture. PVC is available in board form at some Lowes or Home Depot locations.

Rustoleum makes a counter top refinishing paint that is supposed to be very water resistant. If you are set on wood, I would paint the interior with that and caulk everything. It just needs to out gas for about three days and then it's safe.
