Tegu tail notch
Hey guys,
LokiYako is about 1.5 months. I have noticed a small " notch" on his tail. Enclose stats are spot on as is diet. Hasn't fallen or been tugged on as far as I know. Only animal in the cage. http://i61.tinypic.com/wt6pw7.jpg
Any thoughts guys?
Thanks

I could be wrong. But it looks to me like he had some shedding problems on his tail. The stuck on shed could of tightened up and cut into his tail. I have seen this on some Tegus where they have stuck on shed ( like rings ) on their toes and cut of the circulation on the toes and sometimes the toes fell off. I would keep the tail clean and get some penalog ointment or cream from your vet.

I had wondered something similar around those lines. Today the "defect" is completely gone. He must be growing fast!! :D

I'm so glad that it healed up so fast. Thank you for the update.
