Hello all,

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Okay so here is the deal, I bought a baby Chondro (Aru locale) a few weeks ago and the snake is doing great, knock on wood!

It eats without a problem and does not bite when handled, although I very rarely handle him/her.

My question is this, the tip of the tail of my Aru is a brownish black, upon inspecition of this all seemed fine and it appears to just be the natural pigment of the snake but I have been thinking ever since that it could be a problem, but I had a fear of being flamed over such a stupid question if it turns out to be one...Is this natural or cause for alarm?

Thank you for your time,
Ralph

Its a lure. Alot of snakes have that and they some time use it to lure in there prey. They will wiggle it like a worm. Alot of my tree vipers do that. But no worries, all chondros among others have it.
