Hi Brit,

While it wasn't a conversion here's how I've made a front opening door out of glass, silicone, a piano hinge (~$10 for 6' or so at home depot), and a door latch dealie (scavenged): http://www.frogforum.net/vivarium-te...-enclosed.html

You could make the top section of the front out of a window screen (with frame) for ventilation, or drill many holes in the glass. You could also make the front out of plexiglass instead, it would be simpler to drill many, many holes in it without the need for a special drill bit. At least simpler from my perspective as I'm not an experienced glass driller.

You could also remove what will be the new top of your tank- silicone can be cut fairly easily with a razor if you wanted to make the top all vent out of a window screen (Or eggcrate if you have cats).

Also see John's conversion guide if you haven't already (though for dart frogs) http://www.frogforum.net/vivarium-te...struction.html


You know what though, you have access to free glass and silicone...just make a new tank from scratch, it's really not that hard and it can be whatever dimensions you like
