My leapord Gecko's tail....?

Question

My leapord Gecko's tail has just fallen off. Is there anything I need to do???

Answer 1

Make sure you keep his tank really clean.  NO sand or other loose substrate.  It will heal and regrow, but will never look the same.   More info about this here:

Answer 2

If his tail fell off someone or something has pulled on it.  For now do not touch him as he is stressed out at the moment.  His tail will heal and grow back a little, but not to what it once was.  Also be aware that even though it is designed to come off to escape predators, that it does hurt none the less to come off.  Good Luck with your little friend.   You may want to mist the tail once a day to keep it clean.

Answer 3

its fine there tails are just made of fat so they don't get hurt when it comes off but when it regrows it will be either smaller or shaped differently
