In Reply to: Green Iguana Tail... posted by Rach on May 02, 2000 at 12:59:24:

Iguanas do regenerate tail tissue - it just may not be as pretty as the rest of the tail. I've cared for many iguanas with regenerated tails broken off even closer than your (hopefully) gal.

: I got a very large(think:rhinocerous iguana size) green iguana a few months ago. My teacher works at an animal sanctuary and gave her to me because I have had many iguanas in the past and would be able to give her more individual care. She is living with my other iguana (4-5 feet long) in a large inclosure/cage in my yard.
: Well, sorry for all that intro. The thing is, she had her tail cut off about five inches from her body before I got her. It is healing fine but I am not sure if she can grow it back because it was so close to her body. I have always been very careful with my other iguanas and have never had one break its tail. So can she grow hers back?I'd really appriciate some feed-back.
: Thanks!
