In a custom tank for 2-3 female Leos is there a preference for a vertical or horizontal tank? Vertical gives me the option for switchbacks and a cliff face full of hides as well as a waterfall into a small pool. Horizontal gives me the option for more open spaces for variety of hides and ease of getting the temperature gradient right.
I'm leaning towards the vertical orientation for no other reason that I think it would be more asthetically pleasing for myself so long as I provide the Leos the necessary environment. Either tank would be roughly 40 gallons. The environment would take up roughly 1/4 of the volume.
Are there any disadvantages that are significant enough to warrant not going vertical?
