Glass Thickness?

1/4 is fine, yes my big female, it was holding a plant and she get inbetween it and the side and broke it. Pound for pound reptiles are second only to insects. That is beautiful work. Think on the PVC if you are planning to heat through it. If not ignore that suggestion. I know nothing of Caulker Cay Boas.

Some use the rule of thumb of the digonal measurement should be equile to the snakes lengh as min. I admitadly know next to nothing about boas but it is not likely that a bit generous space would be a problem.

Thanks. I was going to aim for a radiant heat panel, mount it inside the enclosure, with LED lighting. That way I can keep the height down also. I can stack more cages if I don't need hoods for lighting and heating. I'll need to experiment. I appreciate the feedback. Also, by PVC, do you mean clear PVC plexiglass type stuff? I'd like to at least look into it as an alternative. Lowes product? Or specialty shop?

No PVC is typically black/ grey or colours. It is used in signage and food preparation + a ton of other things.

First google link.
It is dense tough and reasonable to heat through. Usually plastic reptile things use pvcx or expanded PVC sheet like this

But it is an excellent insulator which sucks if you are trying to heat through it.

With arboreal set ups uth are useless so there is not much point to using PVC but for its moisture resistance and ease of cleaning.

There are no lowes near me so I can't say the local hardware store near me has small bits at stupid high mark ups. The local plastics manufacturer will sell smaller bits (off cuts) cheap. I have a 36x24 1/4 bit of it that was 20$ when my sister asked for a similar price she got it for 14$. I think she got a blue eyes discount!

Haha. That's cool. I've seen the expanded before. I didn't know they made solid sheets. My knowledge of PVC is strictly regarding pipe. I'm a contractor. I'll look into glass prices, I have a local place that has reasonable prices. If I can't work something out, I may have to go with some sort of plastic. I really appreciate you taking the time to link that stuff to me. Thanks a lot.
