Keeping them off their backs?

[Glasswalker]

Blah, last night was the second time I came home from work and found Domino on his back. He's fine now, but I hate that I have no way of knowing how long he was like that. At the very least, most of his food was eaten, so I know it didn't happen right after I left in the morning. From what I can tell, it looked like he was trying to climb the walls of his enclosure and fell over. Is there a way I can keep him from doing that?

If he can see out, block it so he can't. Other then that, I am not sure. Maybe put some plants or rocks, or something along the sides, that if he tips over he can get a grip on something to flip back over. See what others might have to say.

No he can't see out, he just likes playing Spider-Man it seems...

My Tank did that about every day for the first year. I worried all the time. I removed anything he could climb on while I was gone.

don't know if he is in a tank or not or his age, but mine used to be on dirt. he tipped over 2x. it freaked me out being a first time tort mom so I changed his bedding to aspen. he has not done it since. just a thought!
