What glass and where to buy for custom cages?

Hey guys I'm about to start building my cages for my boas and I just need to figure out what type of glass to use and where to find it. I didn't want to use real glass bc I just feel like it'll break. What are some other options to look into? I know that there are some pieces at home depot but that's lexan and it's very flimsy I feel like the snake would be able to push it and get out. Whatever I choose will be attached with hinges on the bottom and fold down. Size is going to be about 30x12. Thanks in advance.

Your options are glass, acrylic or plexi. I have acrylic in my boa cages. You can find these products at any glass shop...Open up your yellow pages and look up Glass.

I'm thinking I'm going to go with plexiglass. I can get enough for all 6 cages I'm going to build for $75. Does that sound decent? They are 3 12x24 pieces and 3 12x36 pieces.

It only sounds decent if the plexi is the appropriate thickness. On a cage I built for my boas & burms (about 1994), the size I used was approx. 24" x 4.5' x 1/4" (4 pcs) & cost about $100. I got it from a glass shop.
