Do kinked tails always look kinked?

xelda Sep 02, 2003 03:46 AM

I swear, Lisa had a normal tail when I got her, but it wasn't till a couple weeks later that I saw the tip of her tail looked kinked. So now I look closely, and sometimes it looks kinked and sometimes it doesn't. Is that normal?

I've seen leos bend their tails all sorts of ways. they can twitch the tip of it really fast too. So I figure that if they have the muscles to twitch that fast, they have the means to bend it near the tip. Also look at it. if it looks straight sometimes, and crooked others, you're fine. From what I've heard, kinks are apparent from birth (what I've been told, never wittnessed it myself). I'm pretty sure that kinks are always pointing the same way too, so if it switches directions, then it's not kinked. hope this helps!
