there was a disscussion about this not long ago I think the general opinion was to go to a local glazier and ask them to cut glass to size for you

Ask them just to make the edges safe, not polished because that'll cost considerably more than the glass itself! And ordinary plate glass is quite adequate, don't let them talk you into fancy toughened or laminated stuff.

Not the best of advice I'm afraid.

You should always use toughened or laminated glass on vivs. Not just for security but safety for your snake and yourself.

Annealed glass (plate as you call it) is very easy to smash and once smashed will break into lots of sharp pieces.

For the sake of an extra 50% cost I'd get tough. It doesn't break into big sharp pieces and is very hard to break anyway.

Sacrificing safety to save a few quid is bad practice in my eyes.

Up to you though.
