custom glass

[infernalis]

It's not necessary, but it is better, even better yet is the laminated shatterproof glass.

What I do is ask the glass shop for pieces that have been cut and then either never picked up or rejected by the customer.

I get nice panels for $5 each that way, and the glass shop is happy to get rid of the odd sizes.

then I just cut the wood to match the glass.

But anyways back to your original question, safety glass is great for peace of mind that if you knock something into it that the glass will not produce any of those jagged pieces that can either cut you, a family member or your snake.

anything strong as ive had carpets that go into a bit of a frenzy at feeding time and will strike the glass as soon as they detect your heat signature as you open the tank for feeding.

they can hit it quite hard

I always used 1/2 inch to inch thick plex glass for custom cages.
Shauny Tempered glass is what used in car for side windows. Most of my house window have been replace with tempered glass has my 11 year can break them. Cost more but worth the money.
