i have a single female that turned out to have floppy tail. i cant say exactly what caused it to develop, because i have always had her in enclosures with a lot to climb on, and i always supplemented her crickets with calcium dust. it doesnt hurt her, although i could kinda tell it was forming before it was totally noticeable by the depression at the base of her tail. it usually just flops backward, theres no fixed position for the tail to flop in. for some reason, her tail seems less "detached" than pics ive seen of other cresteds with floppy tail. people have mentioned that it can lead to twisting of the pelvic bones in extreme cases, which is the only real threat i have heard of from floppy tail.
