Dropped tail

[welshmorphology]

yea these things happen… One of my babies threw it’s tail. I got a pic. LEO is fine

Interesting picture! I wonder if those are the muscle fibers or fat that is stored within the tail?

[welshmorphology]

this is a very young gecko, so I imagine muscle

another simply beautiful shot by you, I love that people can see beauty even in the mist of pain

That is so interesting. I used to keep salamanders when I was young and that brings me back to my childhood.
Thank you for sharing that!

Thanks folks. Another perspective on a common occurrence

The structure and mechanism in which they drop their tail to technically escape predators unharmed is exactly the same as Cresties (if you did not mention it was a leo it would have fooled me)

and a lot of other gecko species too

It looks like it’s out of this world!

One of our new male Cresties threw his tail the second day of being here
The Panther cham ate it
