New Tegu Enclosure

Been Planning this For a while and doing some research. here's my work in progress.




just have to sand and stain it tonight, and get some new glass as i knocked one sheet over and broke it.

going to go with the stain in the middle i believe, it should get much darker with more coats.

its entirely 3/4 inch maple veneer plywood lined with fiberglass reinforced paneling and pine trim. was going to build it out of pine but decided to spend the extra $50 and go with a really nice looking wood.

it is big, 70''L x 36''W x 28 tall and we left him about ten inches for soil to dig.

Re: New Tegu Enclosure

so i went to a glass cutting store today and the guy told me that the glass would scratch and over time would expand in the track and not slide, he said i should get plexiglass instead. has anyone had experience with this, i believe hes just giving me a run around,
in my opinion glass wouldn't scratch as easily as plexiglass. he mentioned tempered glass but said it was expensive. any opinions?

Re: New Tegu Enclosure

I think that glass would break to easily ( depending on thickness). I would go with Tempered glass.

Re: New Tegu Enclosure

As you are housing a large active lizard i would want tempered glass in there for his safety as much as yours.
