how high can Beardies jump

beardiedragon Jan 22, 2004 12:17 PM

Need some space and I have to transfer assorted sizes of some of my Beardies to tubs for temperary housing. How high of a tub do I need to insure they dont jump out? they are mostly 6 months old and average 15"-17" 200g-300g

This cold weather is killing my shipping schedule!$%^*#$ (explatives deleted)

If it's only temporary, I would make sure it's alteast a foot from the highest point in the setup to the top. I know when I came home from work couple of times I found one of my dragons OUTSIDE her tank looking back in. The highest point was probably about 6 inches from the top of the tank. (BTW I put a 10 gallon screen top over that side of the tank so she can't do that anymore!)

My baby skinks are eating me out of house and home!! They need to go to their new homes soon! BTW, thanks again for all the help with them. They are doing GREAT!! I cannot believe how fast they grow. They make beardies look like Uros!

This picture was taken last week and s/he has gained 50 grams since then!! Sheesh! There is not a safe veggie, worm or cricket within 50 yards of my house.
