When I wrote that other stuff, I hadn't read your post yet.  Indeed, it 
seems to be vinyl, at least on the bottom.  A house for humans might be 
heated to the point where the moisture won't collect on the vinyl, but 
the most heat I expect to provide is a seed mat for the iguanas.

The reasons I am inclined to obsess a little isn't because of Gene's 
post, but because I've seen the extreme condensation just on my bedroom 
window, and because the contractor said something ominous one day to the 
effect that "you should keep the shed well-ventilated."
