Hi guys
One of my o'marmorata's had a fight with her sibling at about 6 months of age (have since been separated)
which resulted in a nasty bac infection on the tip of her tail
I saw a vet and it has healed (except 1/10 of her tail is still missing)
As a result of this ordeal she went of food for a while which seems to have slowed her growth.
She is now 9 months old and only 2/3 of the size of her male sibling

I have 3 questions
Will her size still reach her full potential or will she always b a small gecko?
Will the tip of her tail regenerate?
If she will always be small will she be ok to breed or will this effect her or her offsprings health?
 
Hard to say for sure, it shouldn't, though if the animal develops metabolic bone problems then this may hinder the animal from it's full growth potential, and may even cause breeding complications though if the gecko basically looks OK then I'm guessing all will be fine
The tail tip should grow back though will have a different pattern than the other part of the tail.
 
Thanks Jasonl
She has no sign of MBD so all is looking good in that respect
iv always kept her on a varied diet dusted with calcium every second feed and multivitamin once a week
Its good to know that she will most likely still reach her size potential
thanks
