I work at a petstore, and I came across a poor baby leo with his tail missing. He has an open sore, so I bought a new setup, and took him home. I put neosporin on it twice a day, and am also giving him multivitamins, and calcium.

He is loving the vitamins, and can't get enough of the calcium.
Am I doing everything I should be?

He will regrow it, but it won't be as pretty. Just be sure to keep him on paper towels and keep things extra clean, and since he doesn't have a tail to store fat, make sure he always has food and water in front of him. The Neosporin needs to be the type that is not pain relieving.

Thank you! It is. :)

Aww your profile picture is precious ❤️‍🩹
Hey! I'm planning on ordering a 4x2x2 for my next beardie but I'm worried about lighting. I have a UVA and a UVB but they are small (the UVA just being a bulb and the UVB being 12 ish inches?) My house is drafty so I need a strong light that puts off quite a good amount of heat, any suggestions?
