Crested Gecko Fall

5748 Jan 24, 2012 02:36 PM

My crestie decided to jump off my arm today and fell about 4ft. onto solid ground. There was a loud noise when he hit. Don't know how much he weighs, but he's about 3-4" long from snout to the end of his tail. At first he just lied there, but after I picked him up he continued to hop around. Should I be worried that it might be hurt? Are there any signs of serious injury I should look for or was it probably just scared.

Years ago my juvenile bearded dragon decided to jump off my shoulder and landed on tile. She just paused and kept going. I think their bodies at that size are light enough to withstand the fall.
