The first time shame on them.

The second time shame on you.

The third time?  :o

I lost a very, very nice albino TR male a couple months ago due to suicide. Place some eggcrate with rocks on it for weight across the back opening to make sure something like that doesn't happen again.

1st - Found it and changed my glass lid around a little.
2nd - Realized glass lid location needed more tweaking.
3rd - In a completely different tank.  I left the lid partially open with the python water changer in it - planning on finishing my tanks water changes in the morning.  Obviously a big mistake.

Sucks to because my fronts are getting to be decent size too.

That sucks. I lost the one and thankfully that was the only jumper so far (knock on wood). I did have my biggest die from apparent aggression issues. How many you got now?
