What do you do when a Leopard Gecko drops it's tail???!!!!?
He was doing what he does in the morning- go in his rock shelter and sleep most of the day- but I came out of the bedroom and he dropped his tail! The tail was wriggling around and he was trying to climb up the side of the tank. I also noticed his skin was pale, indicating he was getting ready to shed his skin. What do I do!?

You don't need to freak out. Sometimes something can spook the gecko into dropping. Remove substrate and clean the enclosure and its hides/bowls. Once clean, use paper towels as substrate and replace whenever sullied. Assure one hide is humid, as the moisture will aid in shedding and healing. Assuring the enclosure is clean and bacteria free is the key to a successful healing. Once the wound is closed over and it's tail begins to regrow you can put normal substrate back in. Make sure temperature and other husbandry is appropriate during this time.
