I got my 3" B. smithi yesterday (healthy, calm, and simply gorgeous) and put her in her new 10-gallon tank. The problem is that before she came, I didn't fill the substrate enough, so I made a note to fix that the next day.
Uh oh.
She has been hanging upside-down walking around the mesh top all night. It's WAY too high of a fall for her, and I'm freaking out so much. I can't lift the top of the terrarium, because the lid is a sliding top, so she'd fall if I tried that. I think it's because the substrate is too moist, but I can't try and empty out the water dish or anything, so all I could do was turn off the heat pad. She's been up there all night in the same position (very close to the display edge, so even barely sliding the top and she'd fall).
So my question is, what can I do to ensure that she won't fall and hurt herself? Or is there nothing I can do?
If she ever gets down, would it be safe to wrap the mesh top with Glad or Saran Wrap with holes in the middle so that she won't get caught in mesh?
