Building cages is a lot of fun, especially if you have some specific plan or goal that you can't accomplish with a commercially made unit.
One word of warning is that many people assume they can build a cage that is both attractive and light yet that still saves a lot of money. Combining all three of those traits is not always so easy.
Regardless, what look are you going for exactly? Do you want a stained wood with a clear coat, a clear acrylic display cage or something else?
What is most important to you? An attractive cage, a lightweight cage, or a cage that saves you some money over commercial units?
Since this will be for Ball Pythons and Desert species you won't have a hard time with sealing the cages. Many of the modern water-based paints and clear coats will be more than durable enough for what you want to do.
