For sulcatas the grass is ALWAYS greener on he other side of the fence/barrier/obstacle... :D

Sometimes they just grow so fast, you don't remember to make the pen and its walls bigger. Well, I guess I should speak for myself...

Luckily he's not a very good climber. He's been doing this for a couple weeks now and usually he gives up or tumbles over on to his back. I make it a point to check on him every half hour and not to leave him out there when i'm not home.

I guess he'll never out grow this?

move the water dish away from the wall.. less leverage.. make sure he has a secure place to hide and plenty to eat..

Like Dragonfly says, time for a higher wall or Maybe he was just checking on You?

Great picture, though. Glad you were able to prevent his escape attempt.
