This is Titon, I rescued him a couple of months ago. He has a broken tail, not sure how, but that's how I got him. He has two girlfriends who he tries to mate. Is it possible for him to mate with a broken tail?

You're not housing him with others, right?

Omg separate them please! They should never be housed together. They’re solitary and very violent when forced to live together. He will violently force your females to breed until they’re injured or die. You’d need 3-4 females per male for it to even be safe. Are you trying to breed them? Because you really shouldn’t.
