Bearded dragon bit me

Hello!

I was feeding iccarus this morning, she got confused thinking I had food and bit me. On reflex, I lifted my hand up and she held on and kind of fell after letting go. It was about 4-6 inches fall, and she’s been active and running around (like normal) since, and she’s been letting me pet her. I washed it with soap and water to avoid infection.

Do you think I could’ve hurt her by lifting my hand and her falling? I can’t find any marks and her arms and legs seem fine, but I didn’t know if that’s too far for her to fall.

Thank you!
Anthony and Iccarus

She fell from about 4-5 inches, and her name is Iccarus. The name fits well because she used to try to jump onto her lights, if they hung too low in the tank. I actually had to move them to on top of the tank because of it haha
