Hey guys i don't know if this is in the right place (i feel like i say that every time) but o well. Anyways, my brothers friends mom works at a chevy factory and the way they package their windshields they have these rectangle plexiglass pieces left over and workers can take as much of the extras that they want. So my mom asked her to get some for us for the tort. The pieces are 10.5" by 6" and about an eighth of an inch thick. She got us 25 pieces and i have used 4 already on top of my enclosure cuz its a screen top to hold in humidity. I have an idea to make a hide/canopy type thing with either one or possibly a few pieces put together covered in a fake vine with "legs" to hold it up. But are there any other things i could do with all this plexiglass. There are also hollow cylinders that are like 10.5" tall and like 6.5" in diameter if theres anything i could do with plexiglass cylinders. Thanks in advance :). Heres a pic of the stack i already have, i could also get more if you guys have big ideas.

You could make a " burrow" out of the cylinders. And with the other pieces you could make a frame of wood with gaps that are that size for the top or maybe even the whole cage

Let the sky be your limitation of your creativity.

I like the burrow idea and the ideas for adding it to the enclosure construction. Thanks. I also really like the idea for the outdoor enclosure. I already have some ideas of how i can do those and even though it -15 degrees here right now and my yard has 4 ft of snow all throughout (no joke, actually measured) here in Illinois I'm gonna start drawing up ideas for the outdoor enclosure :) thanks again. And any other suggestions are welcome :)


And also, if you wouldnt mind telling/directing me to a thread that explains it. What's a "coldframe"?
