The male is still showing the smears of gray, however he has several brownish yellow scabs forming on the sides.



Behaviorally he is still normal, however his cage now smells like rot, and there are no dead rodents.



His tail seems smaller and it's tighter. I can barely move it now. It's very stiff.



There is a fecal bulge just above his cloaca. I do not believe he can pass the feces on his own. I have considered trying to help him pass it, but at this point, I'm taking quality of life into consideration.



Still not sure what happened. A friend suggested nerve or circulation damage due to the break in his tail.



I don't think he's gonna survive this.



The one bit of good news is that he may have locked with the female he broke his tail with, and the babies I just hatched could possibly be his (they are very red, and their mother has no red in coloration. I only have two males with some red, and the babies have the contrast of this guy).



I'm gonna go mope/cry in a corner now.



Thanks for the help everyone. And the support.
