I was wondering if URO's are fast runners ? High jumpers? how big do they get?

They can be wicked fast on the ground. Zero to GONE in about 2 seconds. They're terrestrial lizards, so don't do much air time. Mine isn't much of a jumper, but she's quite talented at getting over obstacles by manic climbing. The size depends on the species - smaller ones like ornates can be 10", large ones like Egyptians can be nearly two feet long. Medium size (and probably average) are Malis at 13 inches, give or take.

they can be VERY fast when they want to be, and i have never really seen my guy jump but he will launch himself off my hand sometimes, and the size depends on the species.
