I have a small issue. I was cleaning the tank of my two T. roborowskii's today and the smaller one (I think it is a female I don't handle these I have a crested and a skink for that) got snagged under a rock dish I put mealworms in. The must have made a tunnel coming out and I did not know. Well she snagged her skin and her tail on this darn dish and broke the tail real good as well as a good scrape on her skin. I left it alone figuring it will fix itself. I checked her today and the skin issue looks resolved but the tail was toast. So I pulled her out (After many many bites) and cleaned up the area with regular water and a soft cloth then put her back in. Then tossed the now gone tail. Is this normal for one part to repair and not the other? Will her tail grow back? I have always been careful with my geckos to keep from losing tails so this is my first tail loss. My Leopards never lost theirs and they are going on three and my Crested is going on two and his is fine. I handle my Leopards allot and use these guys to educate kids at the reptile rally every year at the pet store. This is a question I have never been asked about the babies. They will be a year old next month.
