Glass and other materials

[sulandcata]

Since the enclousureI have is all wrong since it is open and basically useless I was planning to create one and while there is a tread on how to create one with pvc (since wood will eventually rot and mold so it is useless) I will be using pvc one so my question is on glass what is better normal glass, templated glass, transparent acrylic, or fiber glass or laminated glass?
This is for a inside enclousure

My husband and I built a PVC enclosure for my Russian tortoise. I ordered tempered glass because I didn’t want scratched Plexiglass or acrylic. I am really happy with the result.

Tempered glass is the best way to go.

Thank you for the answer i will be ordering the template glass tomorrow since i need to haste on the construction to be able to separate my sulcatas but could anyone expand a little bit on why it is the best option?

Acrylic and plexiglas will get scratched over time.
