Answer 1

I don't think so, case when something dies. All the organs and cells die too... so how can it grow..?

Answer 2

I don't think it will keep growing. thats just like whan we die, we don't keep growing!!

Answer 3

yep and its ears do.

Answer 4

No, a mouse's tail will not continue to grow after it dies.  Have you tried removing it?  Looking at a dead mouse for 4 years is kinda gross...Also, what does this have to do with reptiles? lol Good luck!
