What is the type of reptile specifically? Your best bet would be to just go to home depo, tell one of the workers you just need what 4?5?6? pieces of regular ply wood and tell him/her the sizes. I have no idea how you are designing it. Then, when come home sand all the pieces that will be inside The Vivarium. If you just want it to look pretty and you don’t want to put the extra work in you can use Melamine too. For thickness I would go between half an inch to a full inch.
For an easy how to do it yourself project without spending 2 to 3 hundred dollars on a enclosure this a good link to use to help you every step of the way:
