Dividing my new tank *Sale Alert through April 19,2015 *

Just so you guys know, Petsmart is having a 3 day sale until tomorrow- I just bought a brand new 40 gal breeder tank w/ locking lid for 75 bucks!
(People in my area don't care for reptiles much, there's rarely used tanks on Craigslist that I can actually use =/ )

Soooooooo, I scoured this site for ideas for making a divider for the tank so I could have the boys in it- I'll upgade them in a couple months, I just couldn't pass up the deal now.

I couldn't find on here what people were using and HOW they were using it- obviously I need something to divide the middle that is flush with the bottom, sides and goes right to the top- So if any of you have done this, what have you used? How have you accomplished this?
My friend has his two in a 55gal and he had someone cut plexi glass and then he used aquarium sealant to fill in the cracks- is that the best option or is there something easier I could do for the 40gal?
Just wanted to get everyone's opinion and what they think is best.
I originally wanted to go w/ 2 separate 20gal long tanks, but my apartment is small and it's a better space saver to divide one large tank.

Any input, help, tips, ideas, whatever are appreciated.
Thanks guys!

Here's the link to what I got, and their 3 day sale (Which, I worked at Petsmart for 6 years, and it's rare that they bring their prices down by this much- my tank was originally $120 or something)

Thanks! Going tomorrow for the bigger size for my Licorice black rat that is quickly outgrowing all of my corns!! Yay!
 
Are you going to mount a UTH in the middle of the tank??? 12" x 18" or so???... so both snakes have a warm hide area??? Plexiglas from the local glass or window repair shop can be cut to size and use 100" silicone... and you can save $$$ over "aquarium safe" silicone.
 
Yup I've got a heat mat to put in the center so the cool sides can be on the outside of the tank and the heat gets on both sides for warm hides...it's easier plus I can keep the water on the cool sides as well.
I will contact th shop down the street on Monday and see what they can do for me =)
Great tip about the silicone, thank you, I'll definitely be looking into that!
 
A regular size tube of silicone adhesive/caulking is about $7-8... the aquarium safe version is about $12... Make sure you buy the Adhesive version as it will be stronger. Good luck.
