A T is like a balloon full of water. And any fall risks it splitting open. Reduce the available height to climb to less than 1.5 times it's leg span & like that, any fall is minimal & not likely to cause injury. But T's do take a while to adjust to a new enclosure & climbing is not uncommon. Also, what species is it? Some T's are arboreal. That is, they were born to climb. Others are happier on very dry substrate & will climb if the substrate is even moist.</blockquote>
