My enclosure is made from wood. With it having alot of moisture, will this wood mold or what? If so, Id like to get suggestions on enclosures.

what kind of tort's do you have ? if there not diggers you can line it with a shower curtain if they are diggers you can seal it with a few coats of urethane or epoxy paint but make sure to let it dry for a few days to air out

He's got Sulcata Cory...I would line with a shower curtain liner and staple it into place. I used that idea in a large tort table and it works very well...

The wood usually doesn't mold, but it does degrade over time. Its best to line it with plastic or paint it with water resistant paint or some such.
