Sad...Leo lost it's tail

[xcynnerx]

My Leo lost it's tail sometime in the night. I fear the other one is bullying, so I've separated them. Anyone know how long it takes for these guys to regenerate? I've got him on paper towel substrate, and feeding it reptaboost along with it's insects. Poor little guy ((Name is Shorty. Unsure of the sex yet. they were purchased together @ one of the big chain stores and have been getting along, until now) it also has a scratch on top of it's head. Poor little dude. they must have really gotten into it

Sorry to hear! Yeah, sometimes juveniles reach that point where they get aggressive with each other.

Make sure to read up on how to properly care for a lizard without a tail! Leopard geckos store their fat there so it's much easier for yours to starve while it is regrowing. The tail also needs to be kept clean and free from infection.

oh no, so sorry to hear that
re-growth speed depends on the animal really as far as im aware. the more energy consumed the more energy it has to put into re-growth.
so make sure hes well fed and dusted ect and it should be regenerated in a few months at the longest hopefully
Good luck keep us posted on his progress.
