RE: Does a beardie's toenail regenerate?

I think it may come back as long as the end of the toe wasn't cut off. When lizards get their toes/nails stuck they keep pulling to get them free. Often this breaks the nail off where the growing starts.

My Iguana pulled one of his nails off a few months ago and there was a tremendous amout of blood. It is growing back now.

I've also had females dig so much that they completely wear their nails down and even their fingers. The nails always grow back.

If the end of the toe is gone it's less likely the nail will grow back.
