Here is my new 7-month old boy, "Ziggy", his name will likely change. I do not see a stripe in his nails. However, I will get a better picture in the morning, but I am attaching a picture for you all to see. He does have a tail nip, looks to be about 2 inches missing. He measures 13 inches with the tail nip. He is a bit underweight, so need to increase his weight. He did not have anything to climb on, so got him logs and a branch. I do need to get him a bigger tank as he is in a 20 gallon.... He likely needs a new UVB light, but he does have a moonlight bulb that has UVB in it.
Ziggy's a good looking boy, nice citrus/orange color and looks like has some pretty tiger bars. Is he a little bit timid , he looks like it or maybe just that pic. Be sure to get a good uvb bulb ASAP, and hopefully he'll do well for you .
It was lights out when this was taken. Here are some better pics of him and his nails, which I am not sure if they are clear or not as some are clear and some have a faint stripe.
