Aquarium on side for snake --Doors?

[distaff]

I do like glass, and have looked into this.

Lots of DIY videos out there for safely drilling glass for vents, breaking down an aquarium, so one can rebuild to suit. You can even get sliding or hinged doors with integral front panel ventilation just like an Exo-terra. They are work, they will require a large space, attention to detail, specialized tools, and considerable time. (I haven't been there in a while, but Dendroboard had excellent plans for the vents - dart frog people make the best vivs anyway.)

I didn't have the space to work on one, so just bought ET's. However, the king needs an upgrade from his top access glass planted tank, and I'd like to give him a 48" planted enclosure. ET doesn't make one that long, so, I'll have to apply myself to a DIY. No need to really bother with an already constructed tank, easier to just work with glass panels.

Joey, KIng of DIY (that is his YouTube channel) has numerous detailed videos on building a tank from scratch. He is a fish guy, so you won't get info on doors, but his vids are still worthwhile for the basic box build, and esp. for drilling.

Hope that helps.
