hello everyone. I know it might be a funny question but are Beardies afraid of heights? lol Im planning on building a Terrarium that will be High and I will have branches and logs to crawl up..Just wanna know if they fall or jump it might hurt them.

BDs are not afraid of heights, but ... They go up very well, but down not so well, if the incline is steep at all their claws do not support them on the downside so the option is fall or jump & sometimes you would swear that these guys think they can fly by the leaps they will attempt. Unless very carefully laid out to give a low slope path to come down, the risks of fall injury are quite high. Tall enclosures are not recommended & are also difficult to heat & provide UVB properly.
