    Pretty much yeah. Heres an example from leopard geckos:

    The top is one with the original tail, and the lower is one with a regrown tail

    (Neither of these are my pictures, I just googled some for an example)

    In this case at least (I’m unsure if every species is like this), the regrow tail doesn’t really regrow the bones or original bumpy texture, it’s just a smooth fat blob in generally the shape of the tail, though often a bit thicker, shorter, and more blunt at the end.






  • I dont think Ive ever even pretended to think they are, for me children, especially babies and toddlers, give me a pretty bad case of the uncanny valley effect and look eerie and cause discomfort, as well as anxiety since Im even less sure than usual what they’re going to do and dont want someone’s kid getting hurt because of something I failed to notice. I dont hold it against them or hate children for it, its not their fault after all, but I do try to avoid being around them where practical.
