    I put in BTA yesterday afternoon. Of course he didn't stay where I would have liked, and found a big hole in a LR that I knew he would love because his foot is completely nesstled in and hidden. The problem is he is hanging upside down. How long do i leave him hanging upside down? He is open but can't be getting hardly any light under the rock.
    Everything I read said put them in and don't touch them for a week, don't even feed them. I want to follow the rules, just not sure about the light, i can flip the rock if i have too, but don't want to rush it.
    Any advice is helpful everyone!!!!

    Mine hangs upside down and stretches around a rock to get light.

    IMO.. As long as it is attached just leave him alone. It will go wherever it wants anyway:)
