| | | Diamond appears to be stuck
Hi,
Ive jsut got a new hatchling Diamond, he appears to be stuck between the glass sliding pannels.
Should I leave him to get out by himself or should I trust that he knows what he is doing??
Any advice would be appriciated
Cheers

If there's enough room for him to get stuck between the glass I'm guessing that the tank you've got him in is fairly big! It's probably how he's making himself feel safe! |

No, get him out.
Install a wiper blade between both panels of glass.
That will stop him in the future. |
