His nose is healing and he is starting to fatten up a lil bit.

Keep up the great work, as he is looking much better!
Drys tend to be very resilient and recover well whenever intervention takes place in time. Keep in mind, while it's good that he is gaining weight, obesity is an issue among Drys that can occur in relatively short order.
Thank you for sharing your experiences and photos…

Reading the posts below...people talk about "brown tails". I notice mine has a brownish tail..but he isn't full grown so I wasn't sure if it would change. He was sold to me as a unicolor, but after reading various posts..this is a more general categorization if the tail isn't solid black. Should I refer to him as a Unicolor? I don't wanna think my boy is a mutt i guess....lol. Either way, he is great, but just wondered.

If you bought it as a unicolor from a reputable breeder just give it time. At least that is what I have been told.

Hello, John!

Bill (sighthunter) has already addressed your question in much the same manner I would.
To expounfd upon what Bill indicated, I would have to say your Cribo looks very much like a young Unicolor. Keep in mind, the posterior coloration of Unicolor normally continues to lighten throughout the life of the animal.

Best regards,

Jeff
