Glass tank sideways

[rwg]

I've read numerous times that glass tanks with screen or wire tops dont hold heat or humidity very well because it floats right out the top. I'm wondering if anyone has tried using a glass tank/wire top tipped over on it's side? Of course the top would have to be a secure clip on type.

The biggest drawback I can think of is that any loose substrate would fall out through the screen top that is actually the front panel. Thoughts?
