well, heres my nicest henkeli ive hatched out to date. he's about a month old now and doing great. he isnt as dark as he gets sometimes in this pic, but you can get an idea for his pattern and colors.

aside from that, one of my female satanics has come down with a weird problem with her tail. almost looks like the very fringe of her tail is deteriorating. was wondering if anyones ever seen anything like this, or can anyone tell me if maybe they think it might be a bacterial problem or something of the sort? any help appreciated!

that's a real nice lookin henk mike.
as for the tail on the satanic, that looks mighty strange to me, hopefully someone can give you some insight on it.

I doubt any one here will be able to give you some feedback on the tail.

i did not have that happen to the tails of my geckos, it happend to the backs of my mossy and one satanic leaftails when i had them. it looks alot like the disease that they had. try putting iodine on it after you take it to a vet, my mosseys did not make it because the vet around here is stupid and could not figure it out. he thought it was a bacterial infection, but other than that nothing. i put iodine on it once a day and and kept it dryer in the tank than usual. the mossys did not make it but i still have my female phant and she is one of my best breeders. maybe your vet will be able to halp better than mine did.

Real neat color, looks nice and healthy! Good Job!

That female seems to have some sort of fungus , looks as though it is rotting there, a shame as the tail is spectacular otherwise

Is there any kind of tiny critter that may be eating her tail (some sort of tiny insect in your tank) ???????

Hope ya find the problem
