EWD tail almost off

[benito22]

hi i Have 2 7month old EWDs and one of them seems to have the first cm of their tail hanging off by a thread and i always thought that was the dominant one because its bigger ect? what should i do

Separate them, see if the tail peice will come off with very very light encouragement.
Their tails do grow back after a good 6mnts or so..

Really? I thought only skinks and geckos could do that.

Ive seen many EWD with their tails growing back. And i once owned one which broke a large amount of its tail off from wrapping it around a bit of drift wood. It grew back, i was just as amazed, as i always thought the same as you dragonkeeper.

its only a little bit of its tail and they always bask together and ive never seen any violence should i still seperate them i think it might have been caught under a rock or something but if u insist i seperate thm i will

Best to seperate, better safe than sorry. At least till the wound heals over completely.

coolos lol umm can i leave the tail and not pull the rest of or is it better to pull it off

 

[Noongato]

That is difficult to say, i cant give a professional answer on that one, but IMO it would heal faster if that last bit was taken off.

i touched it a little it doesnt seem to bother it and it looks a little like the end bit is dead and im pretty sure itll drop off in the next couple of days
