Perspex can be used, it all depends on how big you make the doors. I had 5mm thick perspex on my boa viv, it never escaped. However prior to that when the corns were living in it they worked out that there was enough give on the doors to squeeze through. So it totally depends on the size on the snake really, my larger ones couldn't, my smaller ones could.
As for glass, you can use a bit of 4mm float for corns and the like, but anything with much more muscle in then I'd suggest toughened glass. If you use the float, tell them what it's for and they will normally sand the edges a bit so they wont be sharp as well. |
