I have glass, wood framed doors that swing downward on hinges and don't have any problems with the weight.

It depends. Glass can be really cheap if you salvage it from a window or tank.

At the hardware store it can get more expensive. Plus it has to be cut.

If you were working on a 8' enclosure you could get/make a track. so that one side slides over the other. You could have one side all the way open at a time.

I may build something like this next time

I have plexi on one enclosure and while its really light it scratches really easily and dosnt look very great as a display enclosure. I have real glass on gurus enclosure an its been amazing,if you can afford it id suggest skipping the plexi.

Here are a couple pictures of mine. I believe it is 1/4" thick glass, but is not tempered. Cost roughly $40 for both pieces.

I had a friends Grandpa make ours. He built it in two pieces or sections each 24 inches wide and then used door hinges for reassembly once it is in our son's room. I think my son posted some photos.

Eh you could build it in pieces, or build it inside of the room that you want it in. I chose to put casters on this one and roll it in and out of the garage. This thing has been torn down for years now though lol.

Hey! So I am looking into a Tegu but the cages I've found are expensive as I only have the room to also use the cage as a bed stand. (I have 0 space haha) I was wondering if I added extra supports if it could hold a twin sized bed and up to a 180 LB male? Thanks - Andrew
