it's a real tough call there with those pics, they're a bit fuzzy so its hard to really tell much. from what i can see, it looks as theres a lopsided growth to the base of the tail. if you can get some clearer pics, it might help. try taking a pic of your gecko with the flash on against a plain white background. that usually makes pics nice and sharp.



from what im guessing, it almost looks as though your gecko has a possible advanced case of floppy tail. is there a depression dorsally on your gecko where the tail meets the body? does the tail seem to just flop back over the rest of its body if it hangs upside down on glass? it's possible that your gecko (looks as though its at least a year old), has had floppy tail for a long time and the case has worsened, affecting the pelvic bones. that would be my guess. theres a pretty good pic of it in the rhacodactylus book in the "disease" section. floppy tail is not treatable, and i dont even know if there is anything to do if it has gone on to affect the pelvic girdle. you might wanna consider taking it to the vet to have an x-ray done. in the meanwhile, make sure she gets a decent calcium supplement to help strengthen her bones.
