Actually I did post a step by step with photos, but it got deleted after 2000 hits. The forum master was also a reptile dealer and store owner, I guess this post made him lose some $$ haha.
Anyway its so simple it hurts Go to home depot and get; correlated plastic sheets 1/8 4x8ft $9.99ea plastic corners 1/2in 8ft $1.20ea plastic U tracks for glass $3ea a silicone gun $3 silicone $2.49
and a glue gun (I got mine @ dollar store) I use discarded glass and been cutting it with the same $4 glass cutter for a decade, if you need guidance for the cutting, let me know.
make a box and frame it with the plastic corners, then seal the interior with silicone. If its not perfect don’t worry cause you didn’t need to second mortgage your house to build it. These cages are light, durable, adaptable, but most of all thermal because of the air space between the plastic sheets. This make them very energy efficient, glass is 70% less efficient.
