Yeah, my immediate thought would be that it would be to sell is as a gecko with a regen tail and not have to say that it was born with a defect. That's aside from the fact the he's asking about inflicting harm to the gecko. Maybe I'm just cynical.

I have heard about breeders deliberately causing kinked tails to come off and regenerate in order to sell them!

I think it's a load of horseshit to do that. I am currently selling a PHENOMENAL bell male with a "curly" tail at the end as a RECOMMEND PET ONLY due to the tail. I know I could have cut it off and sold it as a regen tail, but how shady and crappy would that be? :main_thumbsdown:
And Marcia and Kelli know I have a GORGEOUS SS female that has a funky tail (hatched that way) that still has her funky tail (did you see her when you were here Marcia? I can't remember). I love her the way she is - I can't IMAGINE cutting off her tail, or trying to freak her out enough to drop it. :main_huh:
No wonder my license plate frame says "The more people I meet, the more I like my animals". :main_rolleyes:
