They really are houdinis lol. Is that the only opening in the top of tank? Maybe try to cover it with mesh netting ?

Wow, they are determined! Maybe try a grommet or cap off of Amazon to block the hole?

That pic is right after he jumped out, I’m thinking about it just not sure how I would secure it with no gaps, I smothered the gap with electrical tape for now.

I found my clown twice after he jumped out of a hole about that size. The 2nd time he nearly baked himself to death on one side. He hasn't jumped since thankfully. I would mesh that hole if you have to attach it with hot glue or something. Luckily mine stopped jumping but I always worry about it.

Anytime I have small holes like that I just pick up a piece of acrylic from Home Depot and cut to fit. Still looks clean and takes care of any gaps.
