My gecko's tail fell off! Will it grow back?

Question

Dial A Vet · Accepted Answer

It's common for many gecko species to 'drop' their tails as a defense mechanism when feeling threatened or stressed. This is called autonomy. The good news is that the tail will typically regenerate, although the new tail may look slightly different in color or texture and won't have the same bone structure as the original. Keep the area clean to prevent infection. Monitor your gecko's appetite and behavior, ensuring it's not stressed further during this healing period. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance, especially if there are signs of infection.
