I was gonna get perspex but shopped around and got glass for £1 more than the perspex was gonna cost me.

Go to www.yell.com and do a search in your area for glaziers. If you want your edges polihed it will cost more, but the glaziers usually sand the edges a bit anyway to make it safe to handle, then I just used some fine wet n dry (used it dry) and just shaped the edges enough to make it safe for snakey.

My quotes for toughened glass with polished edges were between £30 and £60 for 2 pieces, in the end it cost me £12.08 with out polished edges. I found a place that toughen their own glass too.

Hope that helps matey ;)

I paid £25ish for 2 of 18" x 13" 4mm toughened glass with smoothed edges all round from Stevenage Glass.

Most glaziers will supply toughened glass, but you might have to wait for it.

Brookestar, I think your near Manchester aren't you?
