Climbing the lid

[Petal]

I have a mesh lid covered with seran wrap. One of my crabs has figured out a way to get to the top of the tank even though the decorations dont really reach that high and I dont think he knows how to get down. I dont want to open the top of the tank because I am scared he'll retract into his shell and fall. Do I just let him figure this out or is there something I can do?

Update: He dropped down into some fake plants and didnt crack his shell still dont know how he got up there

Sometimes crabs have been known to climb the silicone that holds the tank together in the corners!

Cool! He's climbing the fake plant in there right now, I didnt thnk he would be able to so I figure thats how he got up there

One of my crabs, Kraig, has also mysterious found his way to the lib. I have no clue how he got up there. I have had both of mine for 4 years and Kraig is known to be adventurous so I decided to leave him alone. Four hours later he was still crawling around upside down so I decided to place a towel below him in case he fell and grab him from the lib. He put up a fight, but he is now back on the ground and his behavior is normal again. I have never seen this happen before, but after reading many other posts about this same thing my anxiety subsided.
