Description
this is a crested gecko, check out his eyelashes!hes still a baby and, i'm sorry to report, i broke him
i was holding him very gently, with his tail between my fingers, but he wriggled and his tail fell off. and proceeded to wriggle in my hand.
needless to say, i screamed blue bloody murder and ran squealing round the shop, much to the amusement of my friend the shop owner
dont worry, he'll grow his tail back! i knew they could shed tails but i completely forgot
very very happy with this shot, taken with extension tubes

Actually...I hate to tell you this. But he won't grow his tail back. ^^'' Crested geckos don't regenerate their tails. So I'm sorry to say you are stuck with a frog-butt. I was so sad when my Super Dalmatian Crestie lost her tail. Ugh. She flung it across her cage during a thunderstorm.

hmm...according to my friend who owns the shop it will...maybe i misheard and just want it to out of guilt
ah its not the end of the world even if it doesnt, its just one of those things

Trust me when I say they don't. I have 24 and am friends with several breeders..and know several tailless Cresties./ :{ I wish they did, since they are soooo much cuter, but no. Interesting fact: Nearly all cresties in the wild are tailless. They also have one of the most prehensile tails, possibly why they don't grow it back. It's more like a fifth arm than a tail.
Anyhoo these two places are really good sources of info:

And lastly, but not leastly...please tell me they didn't tell you to just feed it babyfood or crickets? Cause if you do that chances are it will develope MBD.

god no! the guy that owns the shop is a very close friend, he takes amazing care of his animals. i probably just misheard him in the kerfuffle
i like my cresties stubby tail anyway

Oh, I wasn't implying that he didn't take good care of him, it's just that some people don't know better.Heck, I know a few breeders that still feed babyfood (and they are now puzzled because they are losing a lot of eggs/babies suddenly.) Sadly there is a lot of misinformation about them out there.
