Building 40 vert

I would make sure everything you buy comes with the tag CB-- that means it's captive breed. Stay away from even "farm" raised. You'll find you pay more fir CB animals. But these are more freindly and healthy animals.
second your conversion. I did a 10 gal conversion today that cost 4$ for the glass the screen and frame was 8, but you gotta figure I paid for laybor. I found the screen to be too big leingth and width. I just pryed it in there. But that made the door over lap a little. So if you do your own conversion. It's better to tell them 1/8 less than you need, as silicone will fill the gaps. Pictures of build will be added to my list of being green and saving $ by Saturday if you wana check it out

Delmarr- in reguards to your venting question. A bit bigger is better. you can allways
put a small peice of acrilic over part of the vent to close some off if it is to much airflow. Its harder to creat more airflow if needed witho a fan. I have 3 40 breeder verts I built with sliding glass doors not in use yet along with 5 30 breeders. I think the vent is abot 3-4 inches but I would have to check. I would recomend trying the sliding doors, they rock. Also there is no stress on you hinge. only problem with makeing them is your measurements need to be a bit more precise but I didn't have to much of a problem. My local glass guys are awsome and made it very easy for me. I was actually able to center the track with the trim so one peice of door fits snug inside the trim and the other outside the trim. not even fruit flys can get out.
