I'm debating whether I should buy a Zenhabitats enclosure, or build one on my own. I have a lot of tools so I think I can save some money if I build it.
I'm not sure which is better - a PVC sheet/panel or plywood. If I choose the plywood I would like to seal it with polyurethane or paint. Can I have some guidance as to where (and what kind) I can get some safe paints and sealants for beardies?
I would definitely go for the PVC, but if my beardie's poop gets on a wall (trust me - it'll happen, he's messy :lol: ) can it stain the wall if I can't clean it up right away? I'll have a non-adhesive shelf liner or something alike as the substrate, so I'm not worried about the floor staining.
And finally, Plexiglass or tempered? I found a really good deal for Plexiglass on Amazon, but then I found a really good reason not to buy it - scratches and clouding. Is there any way to prevent the Plexiglass scratches? My beardie glass surfs after he poops for a few minutes, so the claws will come in contact with the glass. And if I do go with tempered, where can I get some without spending a fortune? I found a pretty good deal but it has rounded corners and what not. I will go with it if I don't find a better option tho.
Thanks!
