If he can't get out, just take the lid off, and clamp the UV bulb to the side.

They can climb. Much more as youngsters, but even the adults will climb. They're mistakenly listed as non-climbers in some of the resources out there, but they readily climb both plastic and glass. As for the UV bulb, I've been keeping and breeding this species for several years without using any UV. Again, some resources out there make it sound like it is absolutely necessary. Others post what works for them, and UV may certainly work for some, but I've not had any problems without it, and have raised animals from hatchlings to breeders without any problems.
