He was underneath his shleter at the other side of the tank at the time but it could have been very nasty. I then had to quickly move him, vaccum teh viv, change the newspaper and cuct tape the glass door back together (thankfully it broke into large chunks and all sharp areas/cracks are smothered in duct tape) then fight with the tank to get it back into place, it is far from ieal but it is now safe and secure. Argh! Tomorrow I call the shop and see if I can get a new glass door sent over.

Poor littel guy was terridfied by all this but he seems to be over it now, he's exploring his tank for means of escape again!
Geez - that was bad Most vivs I've ever had (I currently have one for my BD) that doesn't happen. It's a good quality one though - I could get cheaper elsewhere but in my experience (usually) you get what you pay for. The glass in our viv is on runners and I can't see how it could possibly fall inwards ...

Hope your little guy (or gal) is OK ...
