Protecting untreated wood???

Posted by Bric on August 30, 2001 at 21:32:03:

Hello all,
I need some info. on safe water sealants for wood (if any). I am building a huge indoor enclosure for my redfoot, almost winter:) Since I have a humidity system for him, I figured I may have some probs. w/ the wood. Have any of you built indoor enclosure for high humidity torts, not out of plexiglass. What type of wood did you use and what did you do to protect the wood. Does anyone use anything to protect thier wood outdoors? I realize I need to get untreated woods, but it seems the wood would need some protection from the elements.
So far, I am lining the bottom with tile, so I clean it easly during bedding changes. This leaves the walls plain wood.
Any Suggestions,
Bric
