Is there a way to keep my Veiled from hanging upside down from the top of her cage? I was watching her, and she lost her grip and almost fell. Is this going to be a problem or should I let her climb? She is about 4 inches snout to vent.

How big is your cage? What is your lighting? How many LIVE plants, vines etc? You cannot "let" or "not let" her climb...they do what they do. But if you give setup info, you will enable the "knowledgable" ones on this forum enough info to help.

Mine would hang upside down from his cage until I put up some vines for him to climb on. I haven't seen him climb on his cage since. It worked for me hope it works for me

If your cage is filled with plants (live) and the floor is line with paper towels, a fall is not likely. I learned this the hard way. I had a small male panther who like to crawl and fell once...I immediately put in more plants, two scheffeleras, tea plants, etc...the vines and the next time...when he lost his grip he was caught but the leaves, etc.
Here is now..
