Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

best place for glass or plexi glass for sliding doors
I am building the first of a set of modular enclosures for my leopard geckos. Each module has three enclosures and will be stackable. I am using 3/4 melamine as the building material. I'd like to have two piece sliding glass or plexiglass on the front of each enclosure, but I am not sure where the best place to purchase it is.
Here are the measurements:
Thanks in advance!
Terry

3/4" melamine is probably overkill for Leopard Geckos. But, it will be sturdy!
Get your glass or plexi from your local glass shop. If they sell plate glass for windows, they will be able to cut glass to size for you.
Make sure your two pieces of glass have about 1" of overlap for the middle... Some people end up doing 2" or more of overlap, and it just looks terrible. You want enough overlap to fit a showcase lock on the doors, but that's about it.
Do you have channels for the glass yet? http://www.doitbest.com sells 4' and 6' lengths of plastic glass channels for very cheap...

One like this?
This is what I put together last week. I also used 3/4" melamine & YES it is very sturdy! The dims: Total 4'(h)x3'(w)x16"(d)...each unit is about 9"(h)x3'(w)x16"(d). I also used 10 watt halogen lights in each unit forheat. I ended up with a really good temp gradient without adding any additional heat source. My herp room does stay at 74-76 degrees f at all times though.

Lights..
The lights come in a kit. You can get the 10 watt in 3 or 5 pack. The 5 pack I bought for about $31 at Lowe's. You might be able to get them cheaper at Wal mart? They also have nice 25 watt halogens, they put off a load of heat. I use 2 in a 6'x2'x2' boa cage and it holds almost 90 under the light!
