Interesting, I thought they might have put the geckos species in the discription for the photo, instead, it is a "green" gecko. But the article was nice indeed.

Cool article. My crested gecko recently dropped her tail for an unknown reason, she is in a tank by herself. She is about 5 years old.

LMAO, when I read this article published by Yahoonews, they actually had a picture of a bearded dragon in some vet's office being weighed on a scale!!!
The picture accompanying this version is at least a gecko, (albeit "green gecko) looks like a Mad Giant Day gecko to me.
Its a really cool article for sure.

TCHILD, Cresties can stress if it gets too hot for them. Two of mine dropped tails during our hideous heatwave in August, both are housed alone. Did you maybe have a spike in temps where she's kept? (sorry if off topic here!)

At first I thought a moth or junebug had gotten into my girl's cage, as something was rattling and buzzing so rapidly in there. She was on the wall just staring at it like she couldn't believe what she was seeing. It was indeed her tail, and it flailed insanely for a good minute or so, then calmed down and flopped around for about another 5 minutes or so. I was amazed at the speed that it was moving when it first dropped off! :shock:

Thanks for the info regarding your two crested geckos dropping their tails. It has been hot in Brooklyn the past month or two.
