: The person passing out this information is in no way qualified to do so. They have never identified themselves as a veterinarian and have shown absolutely no qualifications as such to the best of my knowledge. And once again... I'll state that I find that passing out information like this is completely and totally irresponsible. Even Dr. Kevorkian showed up to make sure that everything went correctly.

: Anyone who actually attempts to perform this at home will definitely be on their own as far as we at the Iguana Spot are concerned and will receive absolutely no support from us if/when something goes wrong. You've got to be operating with something less than full brain capacity to suggest that John Q. Public attempt something like this. You're on about the same level if you actually listen to someone suggesting this.

: Gina, you're no better than the pet shops. And you're probably causing more damage than good. And you'll never be considered anything more than just another dangerous hack floating around in cyberspace as far as I'm concerned. I sincerely hope that not too many HUMAN patients come in contact with you. God only knows what you suggest to them. But then again, California is a big state and I'm sure there are many places for you to hide your face.....

While I would not recommend undertaking such a procedure on your own, Babyherp did offer some good advice. Do not allow a vet to stitch an amputated tail! Unstitched tails heal better and retain capacity to regrow (stitched tails do not). Be very selective with any type of antibiotic administered! Last but certainly not least, call and speak with a reputable reptile vet! He/She may tell you to simply wait and see. Sometimes lack of intervention is preferable and you can't trust ANYONE on this board to make important decisions for you. I apologize for the embarrassingly hostile behavior of some persons on this board. (By the way, The Iguana Spot is not the center of the universe.)
