I never mentioned this before, but I am working on an automation project for my tank, and I had left a float switch with some brightly colored wires attached to it on top of her basking box. I think she may have seen it and tried to get to it to eat it. The only time I have ever seen her try to "get out" is when she is trying to get at food, and by get out I mean stick her claws through the screen. For example, yesterday I fed her some red leaf and when I came back a few minutes later she had her claws in the screen trying to get the piece of red leaf. As soon as I move it into the water she stopped.
