Tail Problem

[roger]

No he just dropped the tip, where it was all dried up and red, the rest of it is the normal color.

yeah that's what I figured would happen.When the very tip fell off i betcha there wasnt an open wound was there?.like I posted, 10 yrs ago when it happened to me when the tip fell off there wasnt an open wound it had already healed itself.She'll be ok

if theres an open wound just put a little original neosporin on it with a qtip

Here are a couple pics right after he dropped it and i added the neosporin

I've never had any tails drop. So how did that one drop, or how does it work? Do they bite it off? Or did he decide to release it? Because I thought maybe since he didn't drop it when it happened I'm thinking he bit it off or can they still just drop it?

I've never had or seen a tail drop before, does this look normal or healthy compared to those of you who have experienced this? How long does it take for it to fullly regenerate?

I'm not sure how long it will take to regenerate, but that looks like a compleatly normal tail stub, post-"tail drop"

 

[toph427]

Ok well thanks for all the help, should I apply neosporin to it everyday

what u see is what u get.her tip in my experience will not grow back.She will just have a stubby tail,at least thats what my leo's tail did

I would

So the open wound will just heal up and it will be a stubby tail...no actual tip to it?

It depends, personally I have seen leos regrow just the tips. I guess it depends on the leo.

we are just gonna have to wait and see

Its actually good to hear that he dropped the tip instead of holding on and later turn into an infection. Just keep watching as long as the rest of the tail remains the right color and texture, he'll do fine. He may or may not regenerate the tail tip; you'll have to wait and see. Good luck!

 

[toph427]

Thanks for all of your help with everything everyone, Ill keep ya posted on him

Update

Just thought I'd let yall know, his tail has seemed to heal up pretty quick after I have been putting neosporin on it every few days. He also ate and pooped for me the first time since I've had him for about 3 weeks, so he shoud be healthy and hopefully ready to breed within the next couple months! So thanks for all of the help during this little crisis!
