Lol, you have quite the escape artist there! What you can do is put a board or something heavy over the corners so he can't get out.

Cap those corners!

I think this was a saying over at the CTTC.

Once they do learn there is greener grass on the other side, kids just never want to stay home any more. :D

As Danika and Tom said, put something over the tops of the corners. The height of the wall really doesn't matter much since they'll just keep climbing once they decide to go up, and a higher wall means a longer fall. But if the corners (the only place they can really dig in and climb) are covered at the top of the wall, he won't be able to get out.

I did cap the corners but it ended up being too hot for them out there. One came close to cooking unfortunately but she recovered luckily after a very long soak and pampering. I'll have to wait for the grass and weeds to grow so there'll be more shade as this was a new enclosure. Back to the tort table!

PS I'll have a to get a pic of one of my Greeks, she's quite the escape artist herself! I've found her 3 feet up a fence frozen in fear! Haha
