Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Cresties do not regenerate their tails. If a tail has fallen off, or gotten bit off the crestie will remain like that for the remainder of his life. They can be bred with regenerated tails, though

Not a Problem
Missing tails are usually not a hinderance to any activity of a crested. When they were researched in the wild all the adults found were tailess. They believed that they lost their tails during breeding.
As long as the tail is fully healed, and the gecko is the proper size and weight and is healthy, then there shouldn't be a problem breeding. The only thing you might want to consider is how the crested lost its tail. If it lost it while in your care, then maybe try to figure out how to prevent it from happening again if it was something to do with the enclosure or handling. If it happened in breeding, then there's not much that you can do about it!
I have a tailess female that laid many clutches this season for me with no problems relating to her tail.
Goodluck!

Crested Geckos lose their tail, and they do not grow back. It does not have an effect on either sex during breeding (or most of the other time as well).

You won't have a problem with a tailless male either, unless the loss of his tail also included some loss of his 'package', which I highly doubt a crested would survive through to breed.
The tail really serves no purpose in breeding, so missing it has no affect. Health, age, weight are the factors you should be concerned with if anything.
