Thats definitely a custom built enclosure, doesn't look like there is any particle board on there, do you know what kind of wood it is? Certain woods handle water alot better then others, its stained already so the wood is somewhat waterproof, with proper positioning of a single spray nozzle...
yeah thats a good start, but if hes displaying any signs of stress then i would leave the door closed as it will make him feel more secure, you will know pretty quickly, and just make sure you watch him closely with the door open, only takes a split second for them to disappear :p

yeah then he definitely isn't digging his enclosure. if hes getting more colorful when hes out then hes happy being out of it, hes just not superbright because he isnt that old yet. mine is always that yellowish/white/red color you see when he sleeps, thats his content color ive determined...
