not really as a beardie viv doesn't need to be humid. The main problem you'd have with using MDF as a viv would be it not being very good with water, but as a beardie viv is dry you shouldn't have any issues.

it'd be fine to varnish it although you'd need to give it a few weeks or so for the fumes to go.

i got 3 sheets the other day for a cabinet, ended up with 11 pieces after about 15 cuts. the lad told me about 4 times that they've clamped down on the 50p per cut rule, but i still didn't get charged for any.
