been there
hello, i had the same problem with a fifty five gallon of mine.. The only difference was, it was hanging off three inches on either side and it wasn't going to hold a snake.. it was for a shoal of red bellies I had. I called a bunch of pet stores and they all said if the tank wasnt going to be holding anything heavy over the sides hanging off (and water certaintly is) there wouldn't be a problem.. So if you're going to put sand down for leo's or beardies or something.. deffinetly go to lowe's or menards or your local hardware store and just pick up a thick piece of plywood to put under the tank.. the plywood can hang off, and most people won't even notice.. but if you're just putting down aspen for your corns.. don't sweat it at all.. and if you have a heavy water dish or anything else, just put it toward the middle.. Hope that helps.. Best of luck.. Ty..
