my beardie learned that she could climb the walls of her tank and shimmy around the front untill she was on the side and make her way on top of her tank. i would often come home to find her sitting WAY up high with out any obvious ways to get there. i later found out she would JUMP from a lower level and grab onto the top of the tanks lip, hanging from just her front claws she would then pull her self up on top. she has often done the same thing to climb the DVD case i have here that stands about 8 feet tall and has cascading depth of shelving from deep on the bottom to shallow up top. the case has no connection aside from smooth vertical beams on either side so she will jump from one level to another as she climbs...
at work she has jumped across two of our work tables, one high and one low with about 4 feet between them, she sits on the edge of the tall one and jumps through the air to land on the side of the smaller one and then climbs up the side to the top. from there she has jumped down (about a 3 foot drop) to the concrete floor many times and never given it a second thought.
she weighs about 1 1/3lbs, she looks far more like a wild beardie than a domesticated one, i think thats one large reason why she climbs and jumps so well is she is thin and athletic, im sure all her climbing and sleeping vertically has given her lots of leg muscle as well. she cant jump and climb the same way she did at 4 months old but pretty dam close
