OMG...woke up to this...

[Dani51707]

i dont know if there is anyway of saving it. or what happened but it looks like her underneath was messed with as well so im wondering if my male breed with her and got to hard. any advice anyone know what i can do or if it is going to fall off for sure..i am freaking out i feel bad for her

Put some non medicated Neosporin on it. It may not fall off, it doesn't look too bad. Seperate them though.

Definitely separate them. This is why I don't house geckos together...not saying you did something terribly wrong, because a lot of people do, but this is just one reason I do not. I really hope it doesn't fall off! Good luck

It doesnt look terrible deep, she should be fine. I would just leave it alone for now, just make sure she is in a VERY clean cage, so nothing gets infected. Untill it heals I would only use paper towel as a substrate, even in the humid hide (if you dont already). I would think that rubbing neosporin (sp?) on her tail would cause her to freak out even more, possible causing her to shed off the entire tail.

its not to bad, just put some neospoirn on it carefully. You dont want to scare her!

they are only together right now because she is ovulating and they were not together until she started to ovulate and i put him and her together yesterday to breed...

Well I am very sorry it happened Dani...sometimes they just get overstressed, or they are over aggressive and this happens. Just be sure to keep her calm, and separated from him

I hope she heals without losing it.

DO NOT PUT ANYTHING ON IT!!!! Leave the gecko alone... By messing with it, you will only stress it out more and it can fully drop the tail...

I agree, that leo has had enough stress already, just keep the tank
clean, and let nature take it's course.
Your pics arent so good, but I think the gecko will be fine.
