Daredevil beardie

My beardie Zilla is crazy. During the summer when shes most active, their cage gets very hot. So hot i have to leave the door on the front of the cage open to vent it out. At first i would leave it wide open. This didnt seem to be a problem but one day as I sat in my room, I saw little Zilla jump down about 3 feet from the cage to the floor. She had seen a cricket running across my floor so in one swift motion she landed and ate it. I checked to make sure she was ok and put her back in. Fearing this would happen again, I cut some shelving made of bars and put them in the tracks where the glass would be. The next day when i was out of the room, she slipped through the bars. When i came back I only saw her cagemates but not her. I began searching the house and found her in the bathroom sleeping on the cool tile. I then found a way to keep the cage cooler but it still had to be vented. It turned out thar she wasnt too hot, she just enjoyed adventuring! The next time she got out, I wasnt home. She walked under my bed and got stuck. When i came home and didnt see her in the cage, i chuckled and checked the bathroom. She wasnt there. I looked all over the place. I looked all day with no luck. I left food out overnight and went to sleep. No sign of her in the morning. I looked more and then i heard a scratching. I looked under the bed and there she was hungry and scared. I warmed her up, fed her and she was fine. She must have worked adventuring out of her system because she never did it again.

Scorch loves to run around on the floor, but I am too much of a worry wart to let her out of my sight :roll:

Ahaha! Loki gave me a fright like that about a week after I got her! Jumped right out of her tank and scuttled away. Fortunately she left teeny tiny sandy footprints that lead me to one of the kitchen cupboards ... brat!
