Ninja bearded dragon?

Ok well today i did what i normally do, feed my little Mikey in the morning when i wake up and i check all my work/home e-mails. well i guess he decided to be adventurous.. and leap off my shoulder onto the floor (about a 5foot drop) and run behind my girlfriends computer desk! well little do u guys know how cluttered and horrific it is to try and look around or behind the desk.. so i freaked out calling him and what not. well not even 10 mins later of me looking for him does he run out up my leg and back on my shoulders

and that was just the 1st tale of the day!

So 3:30 rolls around and i go outside to pick up my little guy from the bus stop. We came inside and little did i know there was 2 crickets in his cage, and no Mikey. i looked ALL around the cage thinking he hid under paper towel or behind a rock.. and no mikey, and if it wasnt for my son being able to see the top of the cage i wouldnt have found him untill he dropped!! See I made this 2 layer thingy (like a fort) for mikey to climb on to get higher up in his cage towards his heat light. well sure enough he was planning on an excape this after noon that went sour! We found him again

hahah...

I'm still a little unsure how he jumped the the 4 or 5 inches to the top of the cage.. but we found him hiding under the UVB light where i could totally not see him from any point of view unless i was down on my hands and knees looking up..

I just wonder what kinda stuff will happen tomorrow? only time will tell i guess

Hope you liked my stories.

Oh my goodness!
That is nothing but sheer determination.
Must.... climb... uh-oh. How do I get down?

That's adorable!! Their jumping knows no bounds when the are determined to get somewhere...

Be careful with letting him jump off of you like that, especially 5 feet. That could do some serious damage to his internal organs. There have been some horror stories about losing beardies to accidental falls. I don't want to be negative or to scare you or anything like that, I just want to give you a warning that you shouldn't let him do that again.

And a question, is the mesh over the cage when you have your lights on during the day?

 

[Suicidal9090]

yea thats the top of the aquar. why is that wrong???

and i didnt let him jump off me, he usually sits on me. but today was different!!

She's talking about this:

and leap off my shoulder onto the floor (about a 5foot drop)

There's no reason to be rude, especially if you can't be bothered to do any reading yourself.



Sean, it sounds like you've got yourself a real little daredevil there! He's going to keep your on your toes for sure. :lol:

That is what i call personality, :lolamela

 

[Suicidal9090]

Sorry, I didn't mean to cause a ruckus on your thread . I know you didn't mean to let him jump that far down. It's just sometimes it can be bad, that's all I was trying to say. Sorry if I sounded rude.

With the mesh like that, it blocks a lot of the uvb from getting through. You need to find someway so that the mesh isn't blocking the uvb.

 

[Suicidal9090]

lol you didnt sound rude at all, I hope my post back to you didnt imply I thought that.

yea it was a big fall for that little guy but i think hes ok. i dont think ill let him on me in the morning any more, untill he gets a bit bitter so i dont lose him

You weren't rude at all, and I hope that you didn't think I was saying that. The rudeness was coming from elsewhere. :wink:
