AJ sees her reflection in her tank and she keeps bobbing her head at it and banging into the glass... Is there anyway I can stop it before she hurts herself?

Hi!

Elvis used to do that! When I first got him, I had him in a really big glass case (it was actually a jewelry case but as soon as he rehabbed from his injuries he became free roaming) that was mirrored on the back and sides. It was a serious pain, and I felt like he was constantly stressed out - so I just papered the mirrors, which also cut down on the reflection on the glass, which calmed down his temper - and consequently he healed quicker.

You might want to try covering the glass on one of the longer sides of her enclosure, and when it's a little darker in the house, resituating her lights to accommodate for any reflection.

Maybe someone else has some better ideas - but in the meantime, maybe that'll help the little lady?

Sincerely,

~Nan
