Turtle escape!

Just a minute or two ago, Brixie got really close to escaping. I'm sitting a few feet from the tank, so I'm not worried. Shee gets almost all of her body hoisted over and I stand up and scare her back into the water. I can't lower the water level to prevent her from escaping because the noise would keep me up at night. Any other suggestions? I don't want this happening while I'm away from home...

I had to put egg crate on top of the tank to keep mine in. I made a slot for the basking lamps and thats what holds it on

Wouldn't that prevent her from the basking bulb hitting her, and squish her? Might be hard to understand since my camera broke and I can't just show you...I'll dig up a photo as soon as I can.
