Are there terrestrial Ts who won't fit in a large critter keeper?

And here I am, sitting on a chair in Switzerland, where a 30×20×15 cm (9 L, 2,378 gal) plexiglas enclosure costs 50 bucks.

well, there's always option to buy sheet of 2,5 mm plexyglas(usually 2x3 m), cut it yourself and make your enclosures. it does cost around 120 E but you can make A LOT of enclosures with that

At this moment I have absolutely no space for anything.
Nor do I have the right tools to make stuff.

Why don't they call acrylic plexiglas though. Sounds way cooler; at first I had no idea what this "acrylic" was. hahahah

Wait what?! :eek: THEYRE THE SAME? I always just assumed acrylic was thick and sturdy and plexiglass was flexible (probably because its called plexiglass...) -extreme stupidity takes over- :rofl:

Pretty sure plexi- hasn't to do with "flexi-(ble)".

Wikipedia:
"Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), also known as acrylic or acrylic glass as well as by the trade names Plexiglas, Acrylite, Lucite, and Perspex among several others (see below), is a transparentthermoplastic often used in sheet form as a lightweight or shatter-resistant alternative to glass. The same material can be utilised as a casting resin, in inks and coatings, and has many other uses."

The price is what is keeping me though, I have zero experience with making an enclosure. I can make a small cupboard for my daughter from wood, but plexi? I would be worried making a mistake. With wood, that's not the end of the world, but to mess up with a 120 euro piece of acryllic? Nope nope nope. Do you know how many T's I can get for that money? :D

it's not too different than working with glass, it's even easier since you don't need to worry about cutting yourself on sharp edge. but i guess it can be tricky if you have 0 experience with cutting glass/plexy

And I would have to deal with German, wouldn't I?
I would need to use amazon.de right?

I live in Tessin and that's kind of a problem, as I don't really speak German.

"... ma certo. Ci dica come possiamo esserLe utile. Siamo qui per aiutarla." :) <-- sorriso di circostanza mentre si organizza in quattro e quattro otto un ufficio in cui tutto è finto. Si, anche quel pesciolino rosso nell'acquario, ah ah.

No, a parte gli scherzi, non ho capito, nello specifico, cosa intendevi chiedermi. A me spiace perchè qui i prezzi sono ottimi davvero, in tal senso. Solo che poi c'è tutto il discorso di dogane, tasse ecc quando c'è di mezzo la Svizzera ;-/

Edit:

Uno "sgamo" da cinema IMO sarebbe conoscere qualcuno (fidato, eh) di Como o Sondrio, far ordinare la roba da lui/lei, e poi fare un saltino in Italia e prenderla.
