Hi there, can you give me a rundown of the setup? It'd be a big help.

Also, how long have you had him? Has he always had the kink? Or has their been any injury to his tail to cause it? My Atticus has a (small) kink at the end of her tail from it getting caught in the tank door when she was a baby.

Then it could be a birth defect, if he hatched with it- however, it could also be an early case of MBD.

Do you have a UV light for his tank? A proper, long tube one, not a coil, and what brand? Do you dust his crickets and greens with calcium powder?

If it's not something he hatched with, or an injury, then it's MBD from maybe an incompetent breeder, I can't know for sure, and as long as you are providing him with proper UV and calcium, it shouldn't get any worse.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
