Thanks for another useful reply.
I don't really want to put it on the side or modify it because it's quite an old tank. It used to belong to the mom of a friend of my mother.
If i leave it on it's normal side, i think it would be hard to reach the bottom for cleaning and such, but other than that, wouldn't it be fine?
Do i really need the open side or is that just for handling purposes?
I was also thinking of lizards. My roomate has a bearded dragon and they seem to be good for beginners.
Thing is my girlfriend would like something that she can handle a lot, so turtles come to mind!
Lots of questions still. I think i should go and talk to someone at a pet store.
