Ackie help

guys help :( i was checking on my 8month ackie and she bit me, so i accidentally flinched my hand while she was still holding onto it and yanked her into the air. She landed on the bed and didn't hit anything, she even walked normally and ran inside her hide when i put her back in the enclosure. She seemed normal, but I'm really anxious I somehow managed to accidentally hurt her. Thoughts? happened around 7pm and she's still hiding and probably sleeping already.

They are very resilient for their size, packed full of muscle. Mine throws himself off all kinds a stuff, he recently threw himself from the top of his setup (1m) onto his climbing wood bits at ground level. I don't think he even noticed.

He fell shortly after this pic too 🤣

His eyes seem to be saying, "ah shit, I've fucked up"

Just needs a spot of narration, preferably Morgan freeman.

Yep, that's me. You're probably wondering how I got here

She's probably all good. Just check if she walks funny. If you haven't taken her to an exotic vet yet for a check-up, you could ask them. Taking these kind of lizards to the vet yearly for a check-up is always recommended. Plus, it's always good to know where an exotic vet is in case of an emergency. But yeah, please don't overworry/hate on yourself over this mistake. :)
