Over protective mom?

     Ugh, three o'clock in the morning and I'm so sleepy but Chloe just had to wake me up. I apologize now if nothing makes sense in this post...
     I heard something, like a cat scratching at a post or something but as I own not one cat I knew this couldn't be the case. It was coming from the tank so I turned on the light and headed over to see that Chloe was climbing on the lid once again even though I tried so hard to place things in spots where the top couldn't be reached. Yeah, I guess that didn't work.
     She seems to have used a piece of cloth from the towels I keep on the lid for humidity reasons as a boost but after I removed that small piece in fear she'd be able to escape I also took away her "step down". Great now she's stuck...
     After what felt like forever I tried to gently peel her off because nothing else I tried worked however this didn't either. With a sigh I took the lid off completely and helped her climb back to the soft sand where her butt is safe. I also took the time to add extra fake plants that are high enough for her to reach should she get anymore smart ideas.
     So, am I an over protective pet mother? Maybe, buy at least I know my hermie is safe before I go back to sleep.
Until next time,
Pearl popping~
