Need help with tail asap!!!

apok8402 Feb 12, 2005 10:38 PM

Ok, so I was cleaning out my geckos cage and something fell on her tail, but it didnt fall off. It did this really weird thing like the tail was having a seizure and wiggling back and forth on its own. It eventually stopped but now it looks like she cant move her tail on her own. Has anyone ever witnessed this or know what to do? Any help would be great, thanks,
~Matt

a little more detail please on what the tail did, did it move fast like it is looking for a mate or hunting, or when it is about to strike and it moves its fast very fast in about an inch range then strikes.

sorry, instead of when it moves fast very fast, it should be when it moves its tail very fast.

No, the tail didnt move really fast, but over the course of the nite, when I woke up this morning, it looks like the tail started to fall off and is 3/4 of the way done. It looks really weird though, like inside the tail. So I think the tail is just gonna fall off completely now.
