That is a regenerated tail. When a Leo drops it's tail, it regrows it, but it never looks the same as the original tail.

It is kind of weird how pink it is though, like Bubble Gum...:main_thumbsup:

We've never had a dropped tail (knocks on wood) but I'm wondering if it's pink because it was recently dropped and is still growing/healing.

That is a good theory Ryan. I just have never in my life saw a leo that's regrown tail is pink capped like that.Really it doesn't even look regrown but I don't know let's just call it the mystery of the pink tail lol

I agree with Ryan on how it's still growning back. I bought a leo not too long ago with a nipped tail an I saw it regrown.

I'm sure that it is just a regenerated tail and nothing to worry about. What you do need to worry about however is having a moist hide for your baby on the hot side of the tank.

Da-duh-DA!!! Pictures to the rescue!!!

It's not spotty simply because it's not. The spots come in at the same time it's regenterating. Here's Serenity with the tail progression. (She was a rescue...I'd hate to cause a tail loss myself.)
