I have never had an issue with the heat or humidity making it hazy and I also have no issues with scratches. Just don't clean the window with an abrasive cleaner. Plexi if used right is just as secure as glass and if it breaks it will crack not shatter.

You do NOT need to reinforce it with metal you just need to know how to build it. I have all mine with wood frame plexi glass doors that open with piano hinges and none of mine could get out no matter how hard they try.

Lol.. thanks for the confidence in my building skills. I did a lot of research prior to building my vivs. I wouldn't change anything about them. For your snakes go with the size Wayne suggested it will be more than large enough. As for vents you need to let your dad know that to much air flow can be more of an issue than not enough most times. Snakes don't require a ton of air and if you have to many vents you will not be able to maintain the heat and humidity you need to maintain. The piano hinge makes life very easy for me, I don't like sliding doors at all for the cleaning factor. If I want to open my entire viv up I don't have to deal with a sliding door being in my way. I just flip my door down. The sliding door vs hinged door is all just personal preference though.They both will work I just prefer the hinged door. If you need/want any other advice feel free to PM me again I am not checking the forum anymore.
