:main_laugh: OK... I was doing my daily rounds, feading the leos. Up next was the two babies cage. Where Skyler and Ebony are, in the 20 gallon long. I dumped about 10 small crickets with d3 calcium on them into their cage. Skyler was happily feeding away when all of a sudden a cricket flew past Skyler's tail and then I saw Ebony holding on to the tip of Skyler tail. Ebony was trying to gulp his tail down. It was scary. Luckily Skyler didn't lose his tail or anything. I guess it's time to put the tank divider in.... Phew....

Now they are in diffrent hides sleeping. :)

Yipes! I always wondered about that! You're really lucky your little one didn't lose the tail...phew!

I accidentally dropped one of my leopard geckos after something fell off the shelf onto my head, it freaked the leopard gecko out, and I thought the tail was going to detach right away, but it didn't until it shed about a week later.
Not trying to scare you or anything, but just to let you know theres a possibility that it could still detach the tail. Keep a close eye on it though, I'm sure the little one will be fine. ;)

Awwwww! I hope Skylar's gonna be ok! Yeah, I think its time for the tank divider. You don't want anything worse to happen as they get older, as they are males. I will keep you and Skylar in my thoughts.
