Re: potential emergency
Well, since we're sharing...
My first Leopard Gecko Petrie was housed in one of those sliding top glass tanks. Well, this was a few years ago, back before they made the ones that snap into place, so basically all it did was slide shut. I figured hey, he's a leo, he's not gonna get up there and push it, there's nothing in the cage to climb on, he'll be fine.
And he was, for a while. Til the day we went to the grocery store and the cat decided that the lizard was far more interesting than she'd previously thought. We came home to find that she had jumped up on top of the cage, and either dug at it till the screen ripped free, or her weight had caused it to collapse, and she was in the cage with Petrie. Poor little guy had given it his best (cat had bite marks on her nose) but he was no match for a cat. I had raised him from a hatchling so I was pretty upset, to say the least. But I consider it a lesson learned and all the cats now know not to get anywhere near any reptile cage in the house, and we also don't have any of the cheapo cages anymore.
