An aqueous solution of silver nitrate  kept  in a glass beaker overnight developes a black turbidity  due to the formation of silver oxide and eventually metallic silver.
The precautions that  should have been taken are :
a. keep silver nitrate in dark bottles to protect it from sunlight.
b. keep the bottle in dark places .
c. Keep the bottle capped up properly to minimise its contact with air / moisture.
