Is this normal?

I bought a pair of couperi last summer, captive-bred from England.



They are doing fine, but I think that both animals' tails are deformed. They appear to taper too abruptly. The picture is of the female ( I think), the male is not so extreme.



Is this a common incubation defect, or is this in fact the normal appearance for this species? I'm not too worried about it, I consider it at worse to be a cosmetic defect.



I would appreciate any comments.



Thanks
