Message: <blockquote data-quote="TheJuicyFruit" data-source="post: 54674" data-attributes="member: 3275">My b emilia will occasionally wall-hang, but very close to the substrate. I'd say it's a good idea to move him/her to a more shallow enclosure, especially if they have a habit of climbing. I'd also remove the decorative rocks, at least around the edges, because your T could fall onto them, which even from a short height, could be bad. I don't know about your b emilia, but mine is NOT a very skilled climber. Hope this helped <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />EDIT: I've noticed my T's (particularly my P scrofa) will wall hang when the temps are lower. Have you tried seeing how it acts with mid or even high 70s? maybe someone with more experience could weigh in on if this speculation is grounded in anyway, just something I've noticed with mine.EDIT2: That also seems like a very large enclosure. I've read T's stress out in large cages before, which could explain the skittishness, but again haven't experienced it for myself. I use kritter keepers.</blockquote>
