    Keeps trying to crawl out
    I have a 3 month old bumble bee that keeps trying to climb out of the tank. She will pull herself up to the inside lip of the tank and eventually lose grip and fall down to the substrate. Anything I should be worried about?

    Also I sometimes take the lid off of the tank and let her crawl around the edge, I started doing this after the kept trying to get out.

    My ball python constantly explores when she is hungry! she will climb to the top of the cage then go INVERTED just to explore further almost defying gravity. Eventually as you stated she will slide gently on the acrylic tank back down to her substrate. As she is eating healthy and her digest track is moving right along i am not to concerned. I would consider that behavior to be normal and she or he is just trying to check out their surroundings.

    She's probably looking how to get out. I think it's a snake's favorite thing to do :)
    If she keeps it up add a branch for her to crawl on.

    I just got my bee today, placed her in her new tank and she did exactly what you said. For an hour she kept climbing and falling too.

    I took him just moments ago, he wrapped himself around my wrist and has stayed put for like 20 minutes already. I am typing now with one hand as he is on my left wrist :-) will upload a photo..

    I guess he was just cold from the plane ride..
