My hatchling is climbing up what would amount to a tree in his world... He's fallen and ended up on his back twice. Is this normal behavior or is trying to tell me something?IMG_20191001_095845484.jpg IMG_20191001_095926578.jpg IMG_20191001_095903962.jpg

Wow. Sure is climbing. How large is your container? It looks big enough for a hatchling for sure. You might just have to remove that “tree” for awhile. Is it fake or real?

its a husky bin from home depot... roughly 4x2. The fern is fake... its pretty wild, he seems to enjoy walking down the leaves until he falls

Mine did the same thing. It would climb its hide and then walk onto the plants. I switched out the hide. I don’t know how long it was on its back. 59138801876__B94AE096-4762-4C8B-BA28-2A5213908D47.jpg
