Whats the use?

a 12 inch wide tank would not be good for a BTS, they need more than that. I have a fish tank with the same dimensions. It could be convereted into a cool living viv with frogs, but I really wouldn't keep a snake in something that narrow. Just my opinion.

On it's side, a 55 gallon tank measures like 20 inches wide by 48? (correct me if I'm wrong) inched long. That's plenty of floor space for a skink. That's more room than a 40 gallon breeder, which comes recomended for skinks (though I think they're a bit cramped)
Thats the whole point of turning it on its side.
