Beardie fell onto hard floor

[Moxxie1122]

So I was giving my bearded dragon a bath and I bathe him in a tote with a lid on it (not latched and a small crack left open for air) because he'll jump out if I don't. Unfortunately this time I forgot to put the lid on and he jumped out. He seems fine and isn't acting hurt or anything but I was wondering if there's a way to check myself to make sure he didn't seriously injure himself? Lucky for me though he's known to be practically invincible.

How far did he fall? And is he black bearding?

So sorry meant to include that in the original post! But he fell about three and a half feet. His beard was slightly grey when I picked him up but now he just has stress marks although that's how he usually is everytime he gets out of the bath

Keep an eye on him for black bearding, the fall probably scared him so that would account for the gray beard and stress marks. Keep an eye out for breathing hard/wheezing, limping or swelling. If none of those then hopefully he is ok

Hello,

Poor guy, falls like that onto a hard floor can be dangerous. Hopefully he will be alright. As already
suggested, watch for a change in appetite, black beard, lethargic behavior, tremors or blood in stool.
I hope none of that happens, so just keep an eye on him.
Be sure that he can't jump or fall from anything in his tank in case he might have some type of injury.

Poor little dude got scared when he jumped out.
At least he wasnt black bearding. I agree, just watch for black bearding or any sign of pain
