Hello there, been away from herps for about 10 years now and just got back into it when my girlfriend surprisingly impulse bought a baby Ball at Petsmart a few weeks ago ( Don't get me started with the ethics behind that I was not really a fan but I must say the little guy is a voracious eater, reminds me of a retic my dad had when I was a kid, and I couldn't imagine finding a healthier snake in a chain store) On to the point here I'm looking to get away from our temporary housing as soon as possible. I really like the look of the Animal Plastics T-8's but there are some things I would like to change up to help the enclosure be more suited to our means. With that being the case I would rather just build my own if it is possible and with in a reasonable price.

I have been searching for a reasonable price on PVC sheeting and I can't find prices on a 4'x8'x1/2" sheet any where near what I have seen some claim they are getting it for. I keep finding people claiming to get sheets in the 80.00 to 120.00 range but everywhere I can find online and local seems to be 180.00 to 250.00. I can only figure I must be looking at the wrong material. I have been assuming XPVC is Extruded PVC sheeting and I have been assuming Type 1.

If anyone can enlighten me on the specific PVC sheets being bought in the 80-120 range or possibly if anyone in the North Texas ( DFW Metroplex) knows of a local supplier and can point me to the place to get it I would be greatly appreciative.
