Hello.
I have a 40 gallon long aquarium I want to use for my ball python. I'm going to put the tank on it's side, and have the top opening become the front. I have a screen lid for it, but want to make plexiglass doors (or Lexon I think it's called. Tougher plexiglass basicly.)

I googled it, got a couple ideas. I'm still not sure how to do this best. I would appreciate some help from you.

I know I need a plexiglass lip to hold substrate in. I have used acrylic sealant in aquariums many times.

The new front has the divider in the middle, part of the black frame around the edge of the opening. So two doors are needed. Hinges, Cam locks, plexiglass, tools.....I know I would need.

I need advise from someone that has done this or similar enclosure work. There is not a lot coming up on google about this. My main question is how to get the hinges attached to the frame/glass?

Thank you for any advise.
No "tubs are better" rants please.
