Plexiglass

I'm planning on building an enclosure where I want to do the bottom half mesh, the top half glass. Would plexiglass stand up to my chameleon's claws (and not scratch) or do I need to use natural glass?
 
If I were thinking about building something like that, I'd start with an aquarium with one end broken $10 at a yard sale (I have a couple of those I'm sure) and hope It fit on top of a medium or large reptibreeze cage, but I'd plan on having to build a wooden frame lower half (to hold the weight of the aquarium).
