I've never heard them with that name, but my guess is that they have nipped or broken tails. Depending on how bad the tail is damaged, it will be shorter, could be crooked, or have a black section of regrowth. Again, it depends on how the tail looks on the hatchling. I would also want to know why they were nipped.
