Need a Big Enclosure for a Savannah Monitor

i was wondering if anyone has an enclosure for a juvie savannah monitor they dont need anymore. if so give me a good price and hopefully from someone close enough to the philly area so i dont have to pay shipping. not looking for an 8x4 for an adult just like a 4x4x2 or something in and around that area thanks.

I wish you were closer, I could put one together for about $40.....

The hardest part is mounting the front glass.

i dont have a problem building one i just know what its going to cost and dont really have it right now so i was looking to see if someone had something cheap they were trying to get rid of. something not too big for now till he gets bigger

you can use plexi glass right?

You can... It will get scratched up and really foggy in short time.

go to any glass shop, ask for a cancelled order or miscut pane.

It's a lot easier to cut the wood to match an odd window, than it is to cut the window.

I have never paid over $5 for a pane of tempered glass this way.

Another good source, glass cofee table top, glass stereo cabinet front, shower door, house window, etc..

yea thats true thanks. ive been a carpenter for 10 years and have no ****ing idea how to cut glass

I have an idea. I am just no good at it, I get jagged breaks every time.

Maybe a glass merchants would cut it to size for a small charge (they do here in the U.K)?

i know when you cut it tape it with painters tape and score it with a utility knife first that keeps the edges from splinering but as far as cracking you need a saw that will cause no vibration like a rotozip or a dremil but like i said my area of expertiece is carpentry, electrical, plubing spackling triming **** like that cuting glass is a speacalty. also i suck at spelling if you cant tell which is one of the reasons i work with my hands lol

i do know a window place ill have to ask them for remninse

started putting it togather today its not huge its a 4x2x2 but i got most of the supplys for free. plus hes still a juvie so i think this will suit him for a while. i have a video i just uploaded on youtube you should check it out its coming togather. i also priced lamps bulbs and glass today at home depot not that bad really less then $100 for sure. for that size enclosure how many lamps do you think i need and what watts. i already have a 2' uvb light and a small 65 watt 6" heat lamp
