I was woundering if glass or plexi glass is better to use in my cage design? Or if there are any other alternatives?

Don't medel in the afairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.

WOW that was really vague. It totally depends on what for. For example I recommend and prefer Glass for sliding bypass doors. Please explain the end intention, IE cage entirely out of said material?

I agree. That was pretty vague, however - scroll down and read my responses below to the tank top question. I used to use acrylic for lots of things in various cage designs. It's been a big let down in pretty much every application I've used it for. Depending on what you need, glass will likely be far superior.

Sorry about that I was in a hurry.

I am building a cage 4'x4'x6' for my iggy and 2 walls will be plywood and the others either glass or plexi. One will be solid and the other 2 sliding doors. I don't know which is better. My iguana is about 2' long. Don't know if that makes a difference or not.
