Do Chameleons regrow lost toenails?

If a cham happens to lose its nails, do they grow back? Also i can't find anything online that says they regenerate limbs but from what i've been reading here it seems like they don't.
 
Their nails do grow back, but no, they cant grow new feet :D

Lots of lizards can grow new tails, like gecko's, but I dont know if cham can :confused:
 
depends on where it broke off. If it broke down below the skin line it will not grow back. If it broke off at the tip I think it will grown longer again.

And they really dont like it when you have to wrap them in a towel to peel the "problem toe" :p

At least it was only 2 peels before the toenail was good enough to not get caught in the peeling skin.
