cage/rack materials

what kind of woods r safe tose when building a cage for balls or a rack system with open top tubs? Is MDF safe i have read partical board is NOT safe. I am thinking of building a animal plastics style cage with wood.

I would build it out of Expanded PVC, it really doesn't cost much more than wood and is just as easy to work with. Overall it would be a much more durable cage

do you think home depot would have it i have never seen pvc for sale in sheets

hey serpent i just noticed ur RIGHT down th estreet from me i live in Lakeland exit 33 on I-4

Wow, small world... Home depot has some expanded PVC there are some good online sellers as well. I can post up some links later tonight if you want.

that would be great thanks

You can look at any sign place the shipping on a full sheet is horrendous. I go to a place called proveer they carry it. But a quick look in the yellow pages will likely turn up someone whom works with it. Most sign shops do.

thanks for the idea i will look around if i dont turn up any thing i am thinking a rack with tall tubs or something along that lines (i like to be able to see and enjoy my snakes, but grow tired of glass aquariums setup everywhere)

Here are some sites, but I do agree with Kitedemon finding something local will cost less (I'll keep an eye out for you)
