Hey my big guy had to go without uvb for like 2 weeks and now he's got two finish in his tail, they aren't big and don't seem to hinder him in any way, but I was just wondering if they would go away.

It is fairly common for dragons to have small kinks or to get kinks as they grow, especially if they go through growth spurts and their calcium intake can't keep up with the bodies needs. I've had females get them while gravid, so it is possible he didn't have enough calcium and uvb while growing super fast. They won't go away, but you may want to give liquid calcium to keep them from getting 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!
