I've seen wild gators lose their tail completely or limbs completely due to fighting over mates or territory. They generally live in muddy cesspools of stagnant water in the everglades and they rarely get infections. crocodilians are tough as nails. keep an eye on it, but it should be fine in the end


you may want to call an exotics/zoo vet just in case its condition starts to deteriorate.
