I am looking to transform my 55 gallon aquarium into a semi-aquatic rainforest vivarium. And im debating on whether or not to stick with small tree frogs and reptiles or get a water snake. But before i decide that, how should i go about making the habitat semi-acuatic. I saw a plastic wall type thing at a pet store once that on one side is land and one side is water and its slanted like this " / ". But i have not seen those since. I would like to go with this, so if you know of anywhere to get them, let me know. Or if there is a better way of going about this let me know. thanks

It is easy to partition an aquarium with sections of cut glass or plastic, using aquarium sealant to secure them in place.
You may wish to post your question to the cage and habitat design forum, as semi-aquatic vivariums can pose to be a challenge, as instances regarding water filtration and enclosure furniture resistant to mold and rot must be addressed…

Best regards,

Jeff
