Hello everyone,
I am looking to build my tort a new enclosure and would like to make it look nice, be water proof and easy to clean. I was thinking about acrylic much like an aquarium and then putting up the fake backsplash on 3 walls to keep my tort from running into the walls.
Does anyone have any clue how thick the acrylic should be with dimensions of approximately:
4 feet long
2.5 feet deep
1 - 1'4 high with 6 inches of substrate
Thickness of acrylic??
The bottom would be supported with plywood.
Any suggestions or insights would be great as I would hate for it to break/crack from either the weight or my tort smashing into it as she occasionally does to the walls in her current enclosure.
