Custom cuts of glass?

[jamest0o0]

Okay so I’ll admit this isn’t entirely chameleon related, but involves keeping my critters in general as I’d like to use glass for a few different things. The problem is I’m having a hard time finding a place that sells the glass I’m looking for. Lowe’s only has ultra thin cuts that won’t work for my purposes and the few glass shops I called don’t seem to have anything as well. I need plain glass that’s 3/8-1/2-or even 3/4 inch thick. Anyone know where to go looking? Seems pretty expensive online.

Have you tried an aquarium shop?

When I was looking online was outrageous. We ended up going with a local glass shop in our area who could accommodate. Maybe a window company or nearby glass shop. We chose to go with the local shop because in the end the price was pretty near online, just a little more expensive local unfortunately, but we wanted to support them rather than pay for online junk.

Why would I do that? It would make too much sense…

I have a buddy who works out deals with the local window shops. He buys all the used windows they take out during renovations and uses them to make green houses. Makes a good amount of money by re-using them too.

I’ve seen people do this, it’s a great idea.

Well no luck with the aquarium shop either. Might check a few others. Who knew glass was so hard to come by.

I think Protean Cages are what I have got. They are 50/50 (Screen/Glass) enclosures. I am a big fan of them being 50/50 they have got the combination of retaining humidity and allowing air flow. I have not seen them for sale in a long while.

I just Googled Protean Cages and got nothing.....

I didnt even know they had sheets of glass 1/2-3/4" thick. The local places act like im nuts when i start asking for 1/4".

onedayglass used to sell 1/2". I recall it was $40 a square foot though.
