Justin Bobby is on the run....

Hi guys, sorry I haven't posted in awhile but things have been going great with Justin until recently. This is the 3 day in a row I have come home to an empty viv! Somehow Justin keep getting out... I think he climbs on his hammock and then grabs the black rim of the viv heck idk but it's starting to freak me out. I have a small chihuahua also and he's harmless but it still makes me anxious. I have a 30gal short (a temporary until I finish his bigger one) and Justin is approx 6-7 months old and he has appropriate lighting and heating and fabulous basking logs under both lights... I'm pretty baffled. I was under the impression that a lid would not be necessary since BDs aren't much climbers but I seem to have one on my hands lol any suggestions as to why he's behaving this way? Thanks alot

LOL...I believe your little stinker is growing up. He's is going through puberty...need I say more! :lol:

Honestly, it is normal for any creature to want to explore if given the option. I would suggest getting a lid for your viv. That is the only way you are going to keep Justin Bobby(that name just cracks me up)from escaping.
I would be a little anxious if I were you also, with having the chihuaha. It only takes one little nip for serious damage.

Can you maybe lower his hammock or remove it??

I have a guy that likes to try to escape also.

There are several escape artists on here. Babies and Juvies seem to have the least fear of jumping. They can be real daredevils. You need a lid!!
