That is really weird. O_O

He will be OK. You just need to take a few extra precautions while his tail is regrowing.
Here is a caresheet Becca (Karagain) made to help: http://www.leopardgeckoforum.com/t1129-tail-loss-caresheet

I personally rescued a leo that had dropped her tail a week before I got her, and I have to say its pretty amazing watching it grow back. It will never look the same, but it should grow back fairly well.

Can you fill out the health questionnaire please? This may help us in figuring out why he dropped his tail.
