This is how it looks like when a leopard gecko looses its tail...

It's crazy how they are able to regrow it. It'd be great if science could make that possible in humans

My Mediterranean gecko has never had that happened yet. Im always nervous I'm going to startle him when im trying to move him into a temporary aquarium so i can clean his big one and he'll drop his tail. I know it won't hurt him. But it does have a lot of fat reserves and he's a picky eater

it's typically a fear or stress response. more common in younger geckos. they might look a bit sorry for themselves a lil while but they recover fine.

I was always so scared ours would lose his tail, That would have made me so uncomfortable for the lil guy.

Interesting

That is so strange and alien looking.

The right looks like an uncircumcised penis

Crazy
