Hey again everyone!

I am looking to adopt a small african fat tail gecko from a local who did not care for it to well. Just wondering a few things. First off here is the only pic I have of her.




I am assuming it lost its tail. Does it grow back normally? Will it cause any long term damage?

In your opinion does she look moderatly healthy?

Thanks,
Stephen

It will never be as 'perfect" as an original tail, but otherwise looks pretty solid IMHO.

Yea, she looks pretty good otherwise. The tail will always look a little like a turnip, but it's something extra to love about her if you get her She'll be fine with a regenerated tail, so no worries there.

She's super cute!

Oh she looks good no dout about that and like the others said her tail will not the same as the frist one but she is looking good health wise nice stripe she got thier runing down her back very cute.

I have got three fattails with regenerated tails. I got them from some one who's boyfriend died and she couldn't take care of them anymore. The tails were regenerated when I got them. They're here for over a year now and they seem to do fine. The one on your picture looks good enough! I don't think it will have any inconfinience with that tail....

Hi, I have a female AFT with a regenerated tail just like the one in your pic. She is in excellent health and the turnip shape of her tail does not seem to bother her one bit. Good luck with your intended purchase.

I have a followup question about the regenerated tails.

I have seen some pictures of some nicely regenerated ones but also some really nasty ones. Are they usually not to bad or is it completly random? I would hate to get her and have it look really gross. I hate to sound like that but I would prefer a nice looking gecko and if it does grow nicely than it will be nice.



That is what I do not want heh.

Oh yea her tail is fine. She looks to be in good healthy shape.

My AFT also has a regen tail but he seems to be doing fine.

Although mine has a nice shape and is spotted white. and its fat.

she's beautiful
and yeah this is definitely her second tail. it's regenerated quite nicely as aquapimp said.
don't worry about it though, nothing bad will happen to her because of it. she'll be fine and she looks healthy.
it's a good thing you saved her
and in response to your follow-up question, her tail might look a little bit like the one in the picture. but her tail shouldn't grow anymore, so as long as you like it the way it is then you'll be okay

Her tail will not grow any more? It still looks pretty small.
