    I purchased this pvc stuff called azek that i used for my pvc rack. I got it from my local lumber store they had it on hand but they can order basically anything for free though if they have it in there catalog. The stuff is extremely easy to work with.

    I found a supplier near me that sells epvc but only in 3/4" and 1/4". Is 1/4" to thin to build an adult ball python rack?

    I have heard of people using 1/4 inch but afterward they generally say they want thicker. It is just a little too unstable and leaves no room for error like a 1/2 inch would allow. I wouldn't be surprised if over time with a 1/4 inch there started to be sagging which wouldn't be good either.

    Def need to use at least 1/2 inch and also check out Piedmont Plastics, the have Celtec brand expanded PVC sheets, and have multiple locations....biggest part is they deal with the public and no account needed....Thats where i got mines from, a 4x8 sheet cut into the specs i needed for $134

    yeah 1/4 is too small and 3/4 seems too big 1/2 would be perfect if you can find it if not im sure you could try to reinforce the 1/4 with some sort of siding.
