A few questions

These are just a few random things I've been wondering

1. Can Leos drop their tail more than once?
2. Any idea what that little green-blue stripe between their eyes is all about?

Any replies are very welcome! :)

This one kinda sucks, but look the bumps of his eyes, you'll see it's a little blue green line between them :main_robin:

I believe that's just because of the blood flow around that area of their head. (blood is blue before it hits oxygen, then it turns red) The yellow tone in their skin, over the blue blood makes a greenish color. blue+yellow=green on the color wheel! If the skin is transparent enough, you'll see the color coming through. This is especially visible on lighter-skinned geckos. Makes sense to me. *shrugs*
Both of my geckos have that coloring in the same spot.

I’m pretty sure they can drop them as many times as somebody pulls them off.

Dennis the blue on his nose is due to his blood vessels being close to the skin in that area. Nothing, you can breed for. And as Amanda said, the green is the yellow and blue, or at least I cannot come up with anything better.
