I was going to mist my gecko as I normally do before I go to bed and put her light out. I have an Exo Terra terrarium with the hinged, glass door, and while I was closing it, I didn't realise my Gecko's tail was right there. A good portion of her tail was cleanly chopped off. I feel so guilty about it; I should've been more careful. I immediately sterilised the wound, and cleaned off whatever blood was there.
I'm bordering on tears right now. I can't believe how irresponsible I was, and now I've injured my animal. She's not bleeding profusely, which is probably due to the fact that several lizard tails are 'break-away' anyhow. It's gruesome, and I feel like such a bastard for it. I feel like I don't deserve to have an animal.
Is she going to be okay? )=
