First off, I would make a template out of cardboard or heavy posterboard. Trim it until you get a nice fit.



For the divider material, I would use closed cell foamed PVC. Much easier to work with, light-weight, strong enough. You can get scrap pieces from sign shops, or purchase online. Any plastics supplier online will have it. One trade name is Sintra.



The 1/4" thick material is plenty thick, and you could et away with the 1/8" thick material (much easier to cut non-standard shapes). If you need to add some rigidity to the 1/8 inch material, cut some strips and glue them on around the perimeter of the main piece. Use regular PVC cement used for PVC pipes to adhere PVC to PVC (not to the Neo cage.)



If you use the 1/8 in thick material, you can carefully cut it (score it over and over) with just a utility knife, even curves. Or cut a rectangle and systematically cut and file away at the corners until they are rounded as needed. I've done this for various boxes, but never a Neodesha cage (yet!).



You can attach with silicon. You may want to adhere an L-shaped bracket to the divider and use a small machine screw to hold it to the cage while you apply the sealant.



Large gaps can be dealt with using epoxy putty or any other non-toxic (when dry) sealant. The glass door will be tricky being that it needs to slide freely. I would say leave a gap there small enough so a yearling ratsnake can't wedge its head in there. Just feed the snake alot that year, lol.
