shipping question

grnpanda Aug 14, 2007 11:51 AM

I have a fimbriatus that lost its tail during shipping. I have been told by ONE person that they die if they lose their tails.

I have seen many lizards lose their tails and not have a problem. Has anyone else heard of this species having a problem with dropping their tails?

Any info would be great!
Thanks

He should be fine if proper husbandry is met. He my need extra supplement to help grow his tail back quickly. Try feeding him Electrod3ize from your local pet store. This should make him eat as well.
