I then researched their natural habitat, and saw that they were terrestrial and spoke to a keeper who had kept them for years who backed that up. I do give mine a little extra height, as they will sit a couple inches above the ground, but I'd be heartbroken if one were to fall and harm herself. I definitely hear where you're coming from, though.</blockquote>
