[QUOTE="Bast, post: 4164, member: 379"] I was completely expecting her to be a boring 'pet rock', but she's definitely anything but! I'm so glad my son decided he wanted her and we got to take her home, been so much fun to watch :) She's got a 10 gallon as well, it's probably overkill, but I had it laying around and she needed something larger than the teeny critter keeper she was in. Hoping that the extra room will make her less likely to want to charge me in the future LOL. What kind of substrate are you using? Sometimes if they don't like the substrate or it's too wet they'll climb to avoid it. Also if she is climbing a lot, make sure there's not a long drop to the bottom. I filled my 10 gallon pretty full of substrate, left only about 2 times her leg span from the top...just so if she does fall it's not going to injure her. [/QUOTE]
