Depending on how much "half" is. It will likely need to have the rest removed and it will likely turn black and start to fall off itself.

agree!

Just make sure the tank is as sanitary and clean as possible. Give hum newspaper or paper towels as bedding.

Hey Chris ....just checking in on you and your little guy. How is it going?

Well so far so good, tail is looking good, he has been very active still, very healthy appetite as well. Looks to be on the road to a good recovery. Ill try and snap a few pics in the am.

For his current enclosure we have paper towels down for bedding, 2 hides, 1 climb, water dish and small dish for meal worms. 40 gallon tank.

We spoke to the owner of the shop that we got our female from and he said she was wild caught and he has a 14 day return policy (been 3 weeks) but hes going to let my bro either have store credit or replace her. Total bummer on the female.

should def get him checked out so u no if he caught anything from her . poor little girl good luck

Not the best pic(cell ph pic) cant find my camera right now but tail is healing up pretty good.

Glad to see, he's doing well :)

Wow that tail looks great so far!!!! Good on you for taking such good care.

Since she was a wild caught I would totally get a poo sample to the vet to check for parasites that may have transferred.

Well lil peter is looking good, spunky as hell and is looking quite healed up.

yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.....that is great to hear
