Broken/Crooked tail?

drunkmike Aug 07, 2005 07:16 PM

I had my adult male beardie out a few minutes ago and was giving him a bath when I noticed that towards the end of his tail is starting to turn dark.. Its not black or anything like that but its not the same color as the rest of his body. I also noticed when I ran it between my fingers that it feels broken on the inside. like its crooked or something. You cant actually see that it is like that when you just look at it, but you can definately feel it. Does this mean he is going to loose the tip of his tail or what is going on? Like I said, you cant see it but when you run his tail between your fingers you can feel a few kinks.. Ideas?

i don't know about loosing his tail but at the very very end my beardie has a small turned up piece if tail that is dark brown and won't bend. he is in no pain and has a particullary long tail compared to some i think this is why could you shoe me a picture and i'll compare it with mine?
