Re: New enclosure I started tonight!!!
Radient Heat Panels are mounted on the inside of the enlcosure ceiling. They provide a better source of heating than a clamp lamp and create a natural temperature gradient from warm to cool. The other nice thing about them is you dont ever have to worry about burns!!! Which is a plus without a doubt.
Construction is on pause tonight. I will be calling for an estimate on glass tomorrow. Thats gonna be a shot in the wallet for sure. But its payday so I may just go on a reptile shopping spree!!!
Any suggestions on ventilation??
I am thinking a row of 3 circle vents near the bottom and 3 near the top. Whatcha think?

Call several places to find the cheapest one.
I paid about $45 per window for my Royal python cages.

America does not go abroad in search of monsters to destroy. She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all. She well knows that by enlisting under other banners than her own, were they even the banners of foreign independence, she would involve herself beyond the power of extrication in all the wars of interest and intrigue, of individual avarice, envy and ambition, which assume the colors and usurp the standards of freedom. – John Quincy Adams (1821)

Re: New enclosure I started tonight!!!
Is LEXAN or Plexi-glass cheaper than tempered glass? That might be an option.

Plexi is cheaper, but it doesn't look nice.

Re: New enclosure I started tonight!!!
I find plexi to be about the same price as glass here. Tempered will cost a fortune, and will explode if it breaks, not to mention, it would be really difficult to cut.
your best bet is straight up glass

Re: New enclosure I started tonight!!!
I agree with Owen, I used straight glass on my bp's cages. 5/16 inch thick each. Custom cut to fit each cage.

Re: New enclosure I started tonight!!!
You can get glass edges rounded, ummm have you seen a glass coffee table or something like that? They just round off the edges. My friend works for a glass company so i need to get in touch with him.
