Tail loss!?!?! (Newbie Freaking out)

[cambarner]

So today i got a pair of crested geckos at a reptile expo, and i have had them for a bout 5 hours now, and i just went down to check on them and the male had dropped his tail?!?!! What should do? What could have caused him to drop it. please help!

Calm down, don't worry.
Cresties drop their tails so easily, it's almost expected.
Just make sure that it doesn't get infected. No need to put anything on it, specially ointments. Let it dry out and scab over. If you see dirt on it, maybe lightly mist it off. As long as it's clean, it will heal in no time.
Unfortunately, the tail won't grow back. Cresties get one tail, that's it, no regrowth.

ok, thanx for the reassurance, i was able to look at the wound, and its seemed quite clean.
