Question

I have a gecko whose toes were partly lost due to a shedding complication,will the toe grow back w/the nail?

Answer 1

No once its gone its gone so. Did you spray your gecko when it was shedding because if you did not then you should have. Learn more about the animal before you get it next time so you better learn. Bye Bye sorry if I was mean.

Answer 2

No, the toe won't grow back.  Always be sure to provide a humid hide box at all times to prevent this common yet serious problem.

Answer 3

yeah, the chances of the toe and the toe nail growing back are very slim. But my friends did once but hers didn't fall completely off. Sorry.

Answer 4

No. Unfortunately the toes are lost permanently.  Geckos do not regenerate toes/limbs, only their tails.

To prevent this from happening in the future, make sure your gecko has a moisture hide.

Good luck with your lil guy, and I hope this has been helpful.

***ADD Thats the first time I read the link Kimbee just gave you for a moisture hide.  Under the listing for bedding in the hide, it lists a mix of sand and vermiculite.  Neither is digestable and both are very high impaction risks.  Please never use either for a gecko and especially not for a baby/young animal:
