: Hi everybody, I was just wondering..it's because Maya has a basking
: shelf in the living room with a heating lamp so he spends time with
: us while we watch t.v and other stuff. And when I come back from work
: he's out for 2-3-4 hours depending. Well beside his basking shelf
: their is a cofee table that is about 1 metre (maybe a little less).
: The coffee table is lower. Well Maya decided that when he wants to
: get down he jumps on the coffee table (BANG) and then he continues
: his walk. Should I let him do that? Once he might be unlucky and
: break something. I see him do it and he lands on his tummy but is
: this okay or should I stop this? He has a carpet covered post to get
: down but he doesn't want to come down this way, is he lazy or
: something?

My ig basks in the bedroom and has his set-up there. He will jump from the bed to the card table (when I have it set up). It's about an 8" jump. Do you think he will come back and go on the bed when he wants to go to the floor? NO -- he slides down the leg of the card table and sometimes bumps into the wall, but he keeps doing it. Or, he will jump to a little chair I keep a stuffed rabbit on and he and the rabbit will fall on the floor. He does this ALL the time. If you think yours can get seriously hurt, you might want to lower the basking spot or cover the coffeetable with a blanket when he's out.
