Exclamation Please help my Crestie lost his tail

Today is a sad day for me and my crestie, I reached in to pick up his food bowl and he was hiding underneath and I startled him so much that he dropped his tail. Do I remove the tail from his enclosure or do I leave it in there for some time? How long do I wait to try handling him again, I dont want to scare him. Please help, Ive read 3 books on Cresteds but not 1 says what to do in this situation. Im new to geckos, Ive only had this Crested for a week. Any suggestions would be great.

well, go ahead and remove the tail from the enclosuse. you can put some neosporin on the wound and then give him some baby food to cheer him up. He will have no long lasting ill effects from dropping his tail, he will still live a long normal life without his tail.

Aww I'm sorry about that. It happens to all of us, don't worry he will be just fine.
