When we know the truth, we are better able to help diagnose what may be the issue, and offer you suggestions on how to improve. Can you post a full body picture of him too? Typically, waves in the tail like that are from MBD or some other type of nutrient deficiency. It sounds like you already know that is probably the cause, so the goal at this point is to just prevent it from getting worse. Typically, the waves won't go away. It's a permeant scar so to say. But, that doesn't mean it's too late to get your beardie back on track to good health. I would spend some time on the forum looking through different topics here so you can start to get a good idea of what you are going to need to do to make sure your husbandry is up to par. The key items would be proper UV and proper basking surface temperatures. You also are going to want to be feeding him better and more consistently. I know life can get in the way some times, but this creature relies on you to take care of it. Giving him a salad every day is a good start. Depending on his age will dictate how often to feed him. But generally, an adult should get bugs about 3x a week, and a growing dragon 5-7 days of the week. -Brandon [/QUOTE]
