I use acrylic ( plexi glass is a brand name ). I have used it with many sharp clawed animals with no ill effect.

I have a Prehensile tailed skink that goes nuts every night to get out, and his nails have yet to scratch the acrylic window.

And they have some serious claws. If he cant scratch it, I doubt a burm can.

Acrylic does warp. I use a frame to get around that.

I also use 1/4" material, and lots of locks.

Make sure you drill your holes large enough, or you'll crack it.

But acrylic you can work with yourself. I use a laminate saw to cut to size. I can drill it without problems ( go slow )

And I dont have the dust problem Mark does. Maybe if he raises his room humidity level, the static cling problem might go away.

Glass...you have to pay someone. And it breaks.

For my money, I'll stick with acrylic.

Oh...by the higher priced acylic. They are clearer.

You can use Lexan, but the price! WOW!
