Hi,
This week I noticed that one of my hatchlings has developed a yellowish-brown, damp-looking patch at the base of the tail, plus the tip looks gray and withered. I don't know exactly when this started, but it cannot be more than 4-5 days, as I handle them every day and feed them one by one, although there was a day or two when my daughter did the feeding. I wonder if this is the dreaded yellow fungus and what can have happened/will happen to the tip of the tail. Can both things be related? The baby is looking a bit thin (they're two months old tomorrow) which again is kind of new, but he's still eating with gusto.
