    As far as I know, its only the tail that regens. I have an iguana with 4 toes, so I'd say no. Do take care of it though, don't let it get infected.

    To answer your question, No they dont grow back.
    Please have it checked out by a vet, as it was stuck there all day, it may have caused other damage to leg, it should be treated by vet anyway to stop any infection.

    Just for info iggies dont regen their tails either.
