As we all know, weighting down the tops so our Aro's don't bail at 3 am is an evil necessity. I have discovered that covering the entire top (don't block necesary air vents) I use heavy large towels, long enough and folded three times, then a throw rug (all very clean)to cover the entire top as one piece. I still put some weight on the very top, but it seems like they can't bump one end and transfer weight long enough to jump out.
When my last one jumped out during the night, the lids and 6 bricks were all still in place. It also keeps the heat in and keeps my temp. stable. Just an idea, but it's working grreat for me, so I thought I'd share.
Mine has smacked into the top since I changed to this method and he expected it to give a little more, when he does jump, the lid doesn't even budge. Hah! I felt bad the first night because he gashed his head, but he has stopped doing it now.
An xray apron type tank cover might be a new invention for tank coverings!
