Mindy is only about 7 inches, maybe just 6.I can and will slope the substrate, but if she does something really stupid, she will fall pretty far down.  Adding frog moss and soft decor to gradually slow down a falling T is possible but the floor to ceiling is 18" high. With substrate, that's fine for a 9" to 12" DLS, but a bit much for only 7".The other problem is that I need excavator clay to make barriers and keep the slope intact so that one day I won't find it piled up against the doors.</blockquote>
