Sometimes after a bad shed they'll lose a toe or just the tip of a toe. It happened with my first leo before I understood what was going on, now I monitor all of the sheds.

Basically, your gecko will be fine. Just keep the cage as clean as you possibly can. He'll shed a little more often until his foot is completely healed, and then he'll be just as good as new.

[Khrysty]

If you want. But don't use one that has a pain killer.

but it will heal on its on so i dont really haft to use it

 

[Khrysty]

yeah. If it really is only a drop of blood like you said, then it will heal in a couple of days. Like I said, don't be surprised if your gecko sheds again pretty soon. They do that to heal their wounds faster.
