So since I've had Delilah she hasn't really warmed up to me much... I've still got her out of her enclosure even though she runs from me cause I've read thats how she will get used to me... We've had some good days when I got her out but the other day she jumped off my bed she was walking fine afterwards but I haven't really got her out since I haven't noticed anything off with her behavior... She's been eating fine and pooping fine... I got some nutri grub worms she's never had them before and idk if it's because of the worms or if it's from the fall it been about 4 days since the fall but it's like she walking in slow motion I e only seen her do it twice and she done a couple nose dives off her rock into the glass is she okay

How far did she fall and what did she land on? Carpet or hard flooring- get a video of her walking- record on youtube and post the link-- if shes eating and pooping etc shes not in distress - is her beard normal coloring?

Ok please no more out for her --- babies have a tendency to jump off of everything - she looks ok which is good but concrete is not good for them to land on -- she is really young and I dont want anything to happen to her so please handle her in the tank only for now -- get her hand tamed w/ some worms like BSFL or small super worms or small horn worms or even silk worms which are a staple feeder -- she needs to adjust to her tank and surroundings - no black beard it looks normal -- I cant tell from the video of her walking but she looks ok - is she limping that you can see ?

Anytime your carrying her around please place your hand over her back - mine are adults and anytime I walk w/ them I have them on my chest and hand placed over their backs - little ones tend to jump more than adults but its always better to be safe - for some reason they think they are superman and can fly :) yes the outdoor playpen will be nice
