Perspex tops for Exo Terra tanks

[Cavemancal]

Does anyone (UK based) make and drill Perspex replacements for Exo Terra mesh topped tanks. Will glue into place myself.

Would like to replace my standard mesh tops for 2x 12"x12" and 2x 18"x18" for obvious reasons.

Thanks

Very simple to do yourself, all you need is a step drill bit.

I have made acrylic replacements for my exo terra on 30cm and 45 cm versions.
Decent jigsaw blade (for acrylic) and low speed drill for the ventilation holes is all you need to worry about. I silicone the lid into place. Put some small weights on them to keep the pressure even while the silicone sets If replacing both mesh panels, clamp the acrylic together when drilling so the vent holes are evenly spaced and symmetrical. My OCD for things like that would do my nut in if the holes were not aligned....ha ha.

Hi Cavemancal, I have had some bits made by these people and they look pretty good (took a while to arrive though): http://www.perspexsheet.uk/

So the T doesn't climb onto them getting their hooks trapped, and as they mature, bite through them.
