Question
Hello again(im the one who just bought my hatchlings) I just saw a wonderful idea to maximize tank size at; http://www.repticzone.com/forums/Geckos-Leopard/index.html this is a site about all reptiles with many forums and caresheets, anyways I'll get back to my questions... one person on there took a tank with a lid that could be clipped in place with lid climps and turned it on its side seeing how fish tanks are taller then they are wide, she now uses its ide as the living space and the bottom as a back, do you think I could do this with my 33 gallon once my hatchlings get larger? would having such a large tank on its side put alot of presser on in and make it cave in or something? also any decorating ideas would be aprecated. thanks

Answer
If you have a 33 gallon tank you don't need any more space and I don't recommend you turn your tank on its side.  It wasn't ment to do that.  I also really like Repticzone.com its a very good site.  There really isn't trick to decorating the cage.  Just buy a few nice hides and maybe some fake plants to put around the edges of the cage.
Hope this Helps,
Tyler
