About a year ago we adopted 4 leos from a family friend who was bored with them. They had all lived together in a relatively small tank (small for 4 lizards). The owners told us that one of them (we'll call stumpy) lost her tail at some point and one of the other lizards bit off her foot thinking it was a cricket. But thats has and was the only sign of aggressive behaivor between the four girls. Until this weekend, i don't know when or how it happened, I don't see a tail stub in the cage, but stumpy has lost her tail again and it is pink and raw. I bought a smaller tank to remove her from the rest of the girls, she seems to be a lot more vibrant and active, but is there anything else i can do to help the healing process? Would it ever be appropriate to return her back to the big cage?

Yes you can up her calcuim , ( the small dish in her cage of pure calcuim ) and coat what ever your feeding her being crickets or mealie worms with calcuim to help her grow it back so she can shed and so it grows,
and you can go buy neosporm and just put it on her tail
make sure her cage is the right temps as well and she should be fine and grow a new one ,
good luck

btw ( 4 geckos should be in something better then a 29 gallon tank and 1 gecko should be in a 10 gallon tank , ..
