Personally i use a full door that is hinged to open up. I have it on a 48x24x24 enclosure right now for my coastal and do not have a problem. the second phase to my enclosure is a 48x24x24 section that will form an L shape when attached. Its door to the left and is also a single pane. this L design allows you to stack cages on top of one another, and gives your semi arboreal species a place to climb as well as hide out on the ground, while maximizing space use.
I do not however use glass. I use lucite. The lucite i find has a little more give to it than glass. It is a litte more flexable however around the edges, but if you mount a 1/2inch moulding to the outer edge of the pane it gives it the rigidity neccessary. It is much easier to work with and is extremely light.
