First Instar
I was cleaning my hisser's tank so I had them in a temporary container. After I finished I started moving them back one by one, which didn't take long as I only have 7. As I was moving the last one, A male by the name of Raoch, he started spazzing and wiggled out of my hand. He fell about a foot and landed on a linoleum floor. He landed on his back, so I grabbed him and put him in with the others. I'm worried about him because I read that if they fall from to high up it can rupture their organs. I really love this little guy. :( Will he be alright? Is there anything I can do for him?

 
He should be fine. Hissers are amazingly sturdy; I had one skittish female leap off my hand and land on concrete 3-4 feet down, then flip over and run for it! Just feed him well and keep him humid just in case.

 
One foot should not be enough, but you can examine his exoskeleton for any ruptures or cracks.

That will also be good for you to observe that he is well...!

*phew* Thanks, I kinda overreacted as all the websites I read were telling me a fall of just a few inches will kill them. He seems to be doing fine though. Thanks.
