sounds like glass might be your answer.

Well, as long as you use plexi, it's going to warp. It won't be as bad if you use the thicker stuff. Also, there is one that is stronger, try getting that one, it's called Lexan.

Until you get something new, I suggest (if you can) turning the pieces around so that they warp the other way. They'll be flat for at least a while that way. It's what I do with my frog/toad tank door.

I do suggest that you switch to glass though. In the end, after you have had to replace the plexi several times, it is cheaper to get the glass. I know that at least some Lowe's cut glass, so you might try there if you can find a glass place near you. As far as finding a glass place goes, you can check the yellow pages.
