agreed, but I get scared with stuff like contact paper. I made a series of
cages of plex. The chemical used to bond the stuff is scary as anything,
but the cages look nice and are easy to clean. The downfall is they scratch
easy and there is nothing you can really do about that. I treid making some
with Glass, cutting and silicone. Not too bad, but buying tanks and
modifying them is easier. I like a ten gallon size, bust out one small end
and replace that with screen for small arboreal geckos. I use the screen
top as the front. Busting out the small side isnt fun, but usually goes ok
if your careful.
