Message: <blockquote data-quote="thholyghst" data-source="post: 227583" data-attributes="member: 43194">Caught my Chaco upside down trying to chew on her enclosure the other night lmao at first I thought she’d gotten stuck somehow but realized she’s just being a sneak  I’ve read that some T’s have a tendency to be escape artists, so far she’s the only one that’s shown any behavior of wanting out of her enclosure though. There is a hinge lock on there but I’ve been a little paranoid about her getting out. I keep my T’s in a separate room with the door always shut just in case. I’m curious though, what are some common things you’ve noticed about your golden knees? So far I’ve learned she apparently has wanderlust, she hates her water bowl because she covers it with substrate or digs it out, so I’m constantly having to let her sub dry out before adding it back in lmao and she’s not a fan of her plant decor because she’s dug almost all of them up and tossed them to the side (so rude). She also very casually walks towards me anytime I go to open her enclosure up and we often have a stare down before she turns back around to chill in her hide. She hasn’t been spicy at all, in fact she seems curious more than anything.</blockquote>
