    I haven't tried it yet, myself, but I've read of people propping 10 gallons up on their side to get a taller enclosure out of the same tank. You might have to build your own lid, or modify the current one as the original top would no longer be efficient, and I'd be careful of heavy decorations, as the frame isn't constructed to support weight on its side, but it could work if you don't have a taller tank handy at the moment.

    or you could do what I did. purchase another 10gal. (cheap), remove the bottom glass (keep the plastic base and glue it back together if you broke it like I did) and stack it on top of the other 10 gal. tank. If you do this, make sure you glue the base of the top tank to the top of the bottom tank, then the top is secure and you can simply lift it off for cleaning. This worked great for my WTF since he no longer spends time pacing back and forth along the top of the tank... now he explores along the branches and perches I built for him and never climbs on the glass. I'm thinking about doing this for my green tree frogs this weekend.

    They do make a twenty-high that has the same width and length as a ten-gallon tank, but is twice as tall. In other words, it like two ten-gallons stacked up on top of each other.

    In my case, I already had 2 10 gal. tanks so it was a cheap solution to spend $12 on another one and stack them. Over time I'll upgrade to large Exo-terras and use these tanks as quarantine tanks for new family members.

    It actually looks better than I imagined it would.

    That's a fabulous solution to a height-crunch. I've actually got ~3 extra 10Gallon tanks, so maybe that's what I'll do with them. One already has a crack in the bottom, and was on its way to the garbage, anyway. Any tips for removing the bottom panel? Did you just dismantle the frame and remove the original silicone with a razor and then reseal? (Oops... I'm hijacking the thread, aren't I? You can PM me if I'm taking us off-topic.)

    I'll be brief

    ummm... about that removing the bottom. I STARTED stripping the silicone from bottom piece of glass with a razor, but got impatient. I ended up purposely breaking the glass and removing the pieces. The hardest part is removing the plastic base. You have to do this with care and pry it slowly away from the glass with a screwdriver. I broke a couple corners and had to superglue them back together. next time I go this, I'll take my time.
