Crested Gecko Baby

[k8e]

I just got my crested (he is 3 months old) and he jumped and missed and he landed on the floor!!! I was holding him around my chest area and I'm only 5'3". He's a real jumper and looves to hop around and this time he just leaped and I wasn't able to catch him I just want to know if he could be broken? He seems to be moving fine and eating and he is his normal self, but should I be worried?

You should be careful with young crested geckos. They can be fast and if they fall from a high jump they could easily kill themselves. Also be careful when holding it, ure hands can easily break his bones.

Thanks for the replies. I'll keep an eye on him

Personally, I would not worry about him/her. Babies are pretty resilient when it comes to handling, gently of course. Mine have fallen off glass, and have had no ill effects. Like the others have said, keep and eye on him/her, but you should not have any problems.
