Default Viv help

I have just acquired a free aquarium thats 30x12x17 wdh and got thinking if i placed it on its side it would make a nice viv for my corn but how to secure doors to glass

also i would be needing to fit some vents some how, so any help would be much apreciated.

Glass tanks are not very practical.
- lose heat quickly - so expensive to heat
- glass can crack either from being knocked or from heat source
- glass can be sharp and damage the snake and you
- only access is from the top which isn't ideal for snakes or lizards
- no ventilation

If you really wanted to use a glass tank I suppose you could drill vents, but you'd have to know how to do it and you'd probably damage a dozen tanks before you got it right.
Adding sliding door to the front isn't a problem, it's all the other problems that make this a non-starter.

i was thinking maybe it would turn out to be a no starter, looks like my other half will end up getting her axolotl then
