My BP Archimedes has made his first escape, and I'm majorly worried even though he didn't go far. I came home, opened my door, and found him on top of his cage (which is a 40G breeder, 17 inches tall) where he must've pushed up the screen, as heavy as it is, and squeezed through. He was actually hanging halfway off the top, moving across my horizontal light switches which are maybe 4" away from the top horizontally and level with the tank. The switches themselves protrude from the wall about an inch, so I calmly reached over and picked him up. The part that worries me is that he was right next to his lamp, but I'm not sure if he was touching it -- I picked him up as soon as I saw him. If he was, I'm sure he was burned by the lamp's aluminum dome. I don't see any red marks. Do they take a day or two to appear, or will it happen as he burns? I don't smell anything weird, which is good in a morbid way. I have only two screen slips, and the screen for the 40G breeder is folding. Should I use tape on the outside to hold the screen down?

I ordered a 421D about a week and a half ago... It's clear that it needs to get here quick!
