Cage material

Hi I am getting a bp next year. I do have some knowledge about reptiles but will probably mess up somewhere and want to prevent as much as possible beforehand. I want opinions on building a plexiglass cage vs a glass cage, and the difficulty of cleaning each one. My thought is that plexiglass is light so can be carried outside and cleaned off/hosed down, and it is something I can diy. My concern going this route is the weight and is a bp can break it, leading to plastic splinters . As for to much humidity, it is less of a concern as I live in Colorado with no humidity naturally.

Neither the best route is an expended PVC cage.

Do yourself a favor and invest in an Animal Plastic enclosure with a radiant heat panel and a proportional thermostat. The initial buy is a bit pricey but soo worth it!

What size enclosure are you talking about?

I am a fan of PVC for many reasons.

Animal Plastics if you have the time to wait. The reason I asked about size is once you get to a certain size AP enclosure it ships freight and adds to the cost.

Everyone will push PVC on here and with good reason from a functional standpoint, but if you are like me and find them hideous and like the look of a glass terrarium, I can tell you with 100% certainty that they can be set up properly to give you absolute control of humidity and temperature even in the driest climates if you use a humidifier, control it with a good humidistat and place the lines properly so it fogs evenly. Set the humidistat right and it’ll keep the terrarium at 60 RH and keep the substrate nice and dry to prevent any possibility of scale rot.
