If it's not solid wood it might be a lost cause. If damp has gotten in there the chipboard will swell and quite possibly be mouldy.

Your best bet, if it isn't mouldy, might be to get yourself some vinyl - the type used for flooring or thick waterproof table cloths, and line the inside of the viv. Making sure it's perfectly sealed. You'll still need to leave gaps for the vents though. Provided it's solid though, and a determined snake couldn't push the wood out of place/break it.
