I have a leaping lizard!!! He is new and hates to be handled. I am determined and I handle everyday. Problem... he is so daggone sly, he wiggles away, and sometimes leaps to the ground. Twice he has hit the ground, in which sounds, badly. Once on his back. He is a few months old and I always try to stay low to the ground until he becomes comfortable. My question is..how agile or fragile are these guys?? Are they known to jump from high distances and be O.K.? To me belly flopping or ice tea plunging seems dangerous and would hurt these critters. But how do they act in the wild? My female is such a wild hunter when she stalks down her prey, I could see her jumping from some high rock out in the outback somewhere to get some food. I love them so much and would never want to put them in harms way. Should I be worried about my little dare devil? Or are they tougher than I think?
