Weird shape at end of tail

[blinkstafoo182]

Chuck has a weird bump/angle at the end of his tail. Its been there since I got him, it does not seem ot hurt him, but its kinda weird looking, I was just wondering what this could be and if it may hurt him down the road. Heres a pic:

Awww, poor looks like your little guy/girl has a kink in his tail. If he's had it this long and it hasn't affected him, then it probably won't. Is it before his vent or after. If it was before his vent, I might worry, but if its after then don't worry at all. Its just a little bit of character to your snake. Nothing you can do about it really.

ok cool

yeah its after his vent, ok I just wanted to make sure nothing is wrong. I wonder how he got that? Is he just born with it?

Sometimes they hatch with them, like a birth defect. Also, it could have happened before you had him when he was very small. Maybe his last owner got his tail caught in the lid or something. There's not much you can do with little ones when you accidently do that to them. I can't imagine a little corn with a cast on his tail!:grin01: He should be just fine.

Some are born with it, it may have also been caused by getting smashed somewhere and healing that way. Watch out when he sheds, he may need help shedding his tail because of that.
