Beardie 'stuck' under tank stand!

I took Max out of his tank earlier so I could clean the slates, and while I wasn't looking and wiggled himself under the stand. It's about a 2'' clearance, and I KNOW he can get himself out, but the problem is that I can't wait for him to because I work at 2pm!
I tried luring him out with crickets, but he wasn't having it! He's sleeping at the moment, but he needs to come out before I leave.
What to do??

Have you tried gently poking something under there like a yardstick to coax him out ? If he won't come out can you block him in somehow so he stays there until you get back and have time to move the tank + then the stand ? Or would he be safe in the room if he came out while you are gone ?

I have. He's definitely not the most tolerant guy you'll ever meet, so he puffed up and I couldn't get him out.
I could block the underside, but that's definitely option b right now!
He's in a double stand and there a turtle tank on top filled with water, so no moving. No, if he came out he could easily hide somewhere else. We have cats, so I'd be very concerned that they'd think he's a fun toy!

If you absolutely can't shift him out just block him in with objects that your cats can't move. He will be fine there for the day and you can do what you need to do when you get home from work.

Okay. I keep trying late tonight.

How big is your dragon ? Block him in as tightly as possible and you might lock your cats in one room just in case the beardie somehow wiggles through the barricades.

11''.

VICTORY!!! :mrgreen: I scooched him off the side and slowly wiggled him out. He's perfectly fine, he didn't even puff up and is back in the safety of his tank again.
Thank you so much! Won't happen again, I hope!
