OMG OMG OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I went out to check on Mr. Pickles before it got dark last night and he wasn't in the enclosure! I FREAKED! I got my husband and my daughter and we tore it up looking for him, thinking that he buried himself. NOPE..................I'm hysterical looking all over our yard for 20 min! I'm crying..............My husband is sitting there scratching his head saying, "how did he get out"??????????????????? 22 min and I find him! See that orange plant in the corner of the picture? HE WAS UNDER THAT SLEEPING!! You can see his enclosure in the back ground! OMG my poor baby! This is how my husband thinks he got out..............see that purple plant in the second pic? There's a 1/2 log right beside it. My husband thinks he got on top of that, then got on top of that purple plant, used it as a ramp then on to the ledge then dropped down. OMG he probably fell on his little head! I see no damage to his shell...............he's running around the enclosure............................The third picture is my husband DIGGING UP that plant! My heart was going so fast.... The border around the enclosure is 18 inches! There's a lip too. I was so worried! I screamed when I found him and hugged him so tight! Then I held him up and yelled at him! My husband also hammered a board on the bottom part of the ONLY gate leading out of the yard, so...................if he ever manages to do this again, he CANNOT get out of our yard. That wall goes all the way around and beneath it, it's concrete...........My heart was beating so fast last night. Thought I'd have a heart attack! It took me nearly all night to calm down............
