Fat Tail confusion

OKay, so I've had an African Fat Tail for a while now, probably 7 months or so, and his tail has ALWAYS looked the same...lemme get a picture..gaby 070.JPG

Aw, and our Leo

But anyways, see his tail? Thats how it's always looked except once when he got slightly dehydrated and it deflated some...Okay well I was randomly looking at pictures of other Fat Tails, and I realized that most don't look like that... they look like this striped_fat_tailed_gecko.jpg
or this
45041082.jpg

So they're tails are really different...And I posted this on another forum and they told me that the ball on his tail is from "regrown tissue"
But I don't understand if it's regrown tissue how it could have deflated with dehydration...


And with that, (I know I'm going to catch some grief for this) but since they look so much alike, can Leos and AFTs mate?
But that's not too important, just curious
Thanks everyone!

Re: Fat Tail confusion

leos and AFT's cant mate...well they can mate, but they cant produce anything, not to mention that one is rainforest, and one is desert, so if you had em together, you would be killing one of them, but the tail thing, is that he dropped his tail at some time, but he severed it halfway up the tail, instead of all the way down, so only half is regrown

Re: Fat Tail confusion

No we don't have them together, and yeah i knew about the different climates, i was just wondering if they could breed out of curiosity...
But that's really what it is?! Thats sooo weird. Thats how i bought him and i love him so whats it matter, anyways, right?
They told me thats what it was on the other forum and i wanted a second opinon. But thanks...i would give you a thank but i don't have enough posts yet
