this summer I took my 3 year old rufescens at an exhibition, people only had eyes for him. they said ot is really "special" and could win awards...

yesterday i found he had lost a half of his wonderful tail, it must be bitten off by a Merianae he lived together with since they were babies, it total peaceful harmony so far..I never saw them even try to fight. who could expect..

I can't make a reason of that, I read tegus are able to regenerate tail somehow, though he's 3 year old he is still far from the size of a full-grown male rufescens..

What I request help for is some suggestions about a way to stimulate tail regrowth, diet, light, mineral supplement or so..

please help..... thanks..
