 Glass tank question

if i get a 36x18x18 glass tank and cover all the sides of the tank with decor paper will it be like a rubbermaid container that has no glass?

Covering the sides would help as the tortoise cannot see through the glass; however tanks do not provide good air circulation and climate control.

Glass aquariums are very bad for trotoises.
just because you cover the sides doesnt make it a good enclosure, also you may find the insides will still reflect and could show their image as a mirror would yours.. and could make a tortoise confused.

And bad air circulation, causing it harder to control temperatures and having the Hot and Cool Combination either side of the enclosure.
