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.

I had one of my female leo's drop her tail about 6 months ago due to shipping stress. My vet told me to put diluted Hydrogen Peroxide (1 part water:1 part Peroxide) on the tail once a day while it was still moist, to prevent an type of bacterial infection from growing. (Diluting it keeps it from being toxic, because she might lick at her wound.) Once it scabbed over the vet said to use Neosporin to help the tail regenerate quickly. It worked for me, her tail is fully regrown, a little stumpy looking but I don't mind. I think it gives her character!

I hate to say this, but I really dont agree with what was said. I would keep her in a clean enclosure w/ paper towels, normal temps, NOT moist. And use a bit of neosporin type ointment WITHOUT pain relief. Works wonders. She'll be fine.

sucks about the tail...i hate regens.

tail loss
I'm so sorry your gecko lost her tail! I completely agree with Chris on this... keep her on DRY paper towel, put some neosporin/bacitracin/polysporin ointment on the wound, and provide a clean, stress-free environment for her until you see the little pink 'new' tail start to develop. Remember that she no longer has the fat/water reserve from her tail, so she may be vulnerable to infection for a week or two.
Keep in mind that autonomic tail loss is a natural defense for lizards, and although the boney vertebrae from her original tail will be missing, the new tail will provide her with the necessary nutritional reserve storage she will require after it regenerates.
