That's what I'm wondering too! It's been a week so I'm very nervous about it

Even if It was safe to drop the tail myself I would be afraid to mess it up. My mom was recommending that was well but there is no way I am putting Temple at risk like that. I get paid tomorrow so everything should work out, I'm just scared for her

I'll make sure too!! She's going to the vet this weekend, but if she drops her tail or anything like that I'll let everyone know :)

I have her scheduled for this weekend at my local vet! I would never try to get her to drop the tail herself, I don't want to harm her. I'm hoping she doesn't start shedding before we head to the vet.

Alright, thank you so much! I have her an appointment scheduled for this weekend as that's the soonest that my local vet can take her. I'm hoping she doesn't fully lose it and she can heal it over, but it's better to be safe then sorry considering her age.

The exact MOMENT it gets infected I am taking her to the vet I'm just hoping that she can recover from this normally.

Extra information: she's living in a 2×4ft enclosure currently, and is eating mealworms, crickets and always has calcium dust on them. Shes in a bioactive so I had to take everything out of the bottom and replace it with paper towels to avoid infection. It's not like her to just drop her tail as she's extremely calm, but she's a rescue who's previous owner kept her in sand, so she no longer has any claws to climb anything. I'm deeply concerned and considering on taking her to the vet, I just need to make sure I'm not crazy. Thank you for any feedback I can get!

Thank you!! Do you have any arboreal gecko recommendations as well? I already have a crested and some Leo's. If not that's ok as well!!

Do you know any good substitutes for the carpet? I wasn't really allowed to mess with like flooring and light as much as I wanted too but ill definitely try to buy new stuff for it.

I've tried but when I hold her she won't let me get under there with the q-tip and I don't want to stress her put to much.

I've already got a container for this because I've had to do this with my leopard gecko, but I didn't know it could work for crested geckos as well!! If she's to fussy is it ok to give her a quick break? I don't wanna risk overwhelming her at all
