Whenever I open the lid I close the door to the room she's in, just in case she jumps out.

I guess what I mean to ask is, in general, how hard is it to catch a FBT once it has escaped?
And should I really be so nervous about her escaping when I'm there feeding her, or should I just chill out and relax a little?
I've been the same since I got mine, I also have to leave my lid slightly open for 15 mins in the morning to clear up the condensation and I find myself turning around alot to check there not climbing out. I'd like to think they like there new home too much to want to escape but who am I kidding. They climb my background alot and sit right next to the badly covered up wire spaces in the lid I plan on attaching little bells to the covers I made so if they push at it the bell will make a noise and alert me if I'm in lol.

I wouldn't know about catching them though I haven't had to do that yet I doubt it would be too hard if U could see it, finding it could be a different matter if it got out when you weren't around. Not sure if this works for toads but when a crayfish escapes you are meant to leave a small saucer of water in the corner of any room it could be in to attract it.

Hope that's some help with the nerves
