 Help

when i first got my goldie, i accidentally held his tail and it came off. Then he started to try to always bite me when i feed him and try to hold him. But it has been a year since that happened and he is still doing it, i don’t know whats wrong with him. Every time i come in to the room that he is in, i always look at him and he is never gold and he is normally dark. does anyone know what is wrong with him!!!

First off, you shouldn’t be handling him much at all. Golden geckos are a display species and healthy ones will not at all tolerate being handled. They can be aggressive like their cousin the tokay and you can be assured that if a goldie wants to bite you, and does so, it Will hurt.

As for going near his cage to make him dark, do you have any pictures of his setup? I’ll be able to help you more once I know how big his tank is, where he’s located in your house, and what’s in the tank.
