Hey all so i had my blue tongue out today and he was fine. Then when i was ready for a bed i cheak up on him only to find some tail missing he does not seem to be in distressed and it doesnt worry him hes walking around like nothing happened . Nothing can get in and there is nothing he can cut it on and nothing was pulling it here some pic also what can i do to heal it. He is also through a shed if this helps.

And to make it sound better

Hey its ok guy it just a scratch im a war veteran i taking worst

Take him to L.A. or bring him here tomorrow. L.A. probably better. No sign of the other end of the tail any where?

you don't have to do anything it will heal by itself

part of life being a skink

had to be some form of pressure on the end of his tail to make it come off

No sign of the other end of the tail any where?

are you thinking super glue :smln:

no just might help figure out what happened, bobtail skink now.

bit of compression in shape

red mark on top

downward pressure

scrape to get outn

stood on or caught underneath something coming down on it?

That's why I though the end might be near by. They can near enough hold themselves up on the tips, could have slipped through something and twisted slightly. Enough give to stop it breaking further up.

you should give it the LALL test :slfg:

The very tips flavour a stew just right, leave it in till the bone dissolves and the scales float to the top, spoon them off and add your veges of choice.

and some rabbit food for extra taste :rotf:

I read some where that some times the tail can be weak and un known damaged can happen also mishaps do happen . I all thought he hated his tail as he didnt watch were it was going, maybe he wack it off hahaha also i dont think his tail suits his personality as he fears nothing and is a rough lizard hahahaha. I am not worried as hes not worried now atlest if he goes to a play group i can claim him to be my kid hahahahaha anyway should i just leave it to heal and not do anything?

Must have been hungry
