I am going to make a wood frame with a large plexiglass window.

I had seen something that the plexiglass can warp from the heat? some peeps hadnt seen a prob then some have mentioned issues with that part of why I went with glass are you double paning it?

ya why I candled again last night kinda wasnt sure I did learn looking for the movement seemed to be easier by the aircell as they have started filling up the egg if you get the angle just right with the light where their feet are supose to be tucked and on it's side can see the shadows of the light shimmer thru the aircell area as they move...if that makes sense

pppstt whats 37.5?
