I'm working on building my dragons cage, and can't seem to find an econimical way to build the front glass/door. Since I am a college student, money is tight. Do you guys have any ideas. Thanks.

Build a wooden frame and attach aluminum screening to it. Screens are much cheaper and do give nice airflow without really blocking the view of your dragon. Also, you can do it for about $10 depending on the size of your cage.

plexy glass works well but it does scratch over time, but so far my first cage still looks pretty good after a year, but will eventually need to be replaced, you can get a pretty big sheet of 1/4in for about $30 and they will cut it for you to whatever size you need, if thats to much than screen is really your only option

What do you use to slide the plexi on? I can't seem to find a track thats not really expensive.
