Pig tailed leo?

Hi, My Daughter hatched out a leo the other day, Well his tail is curled up like a pigs tail.. Anyone ever see this before? He seems healthy other then that.

Thanks for all and any replys.

well.. I'm thinking "sweet!"
and I'm also thinking it might be something with the bones. Like they were curved during incubation. I haven't seen this before but it sure looks weird. It might not survive as long but I would give it a try.

That was a joke! I dont know if it will survive or not. It seems to be doing ok other then the tail.

It has been called "Curly Tail" or "Curled Tail". I've seen it a few times in Leopard geckos and knob-tails. I have no clue what it is caused from but it could possibly be temperature fluctuations during incubation or a number of vitamin/calcium deficiencies. I would just make sure that, for the future, that incubation temperatures are stable, and that you are supplementing the gravid females.

Well Thank Goodness you didn't freeze the little baby. Its just its tail. It looks like it could live a healthy life. Lots of calcium and it might not interfer and then it will be a special cute Leo for all times. I think its weird when a humans deformed its gross but when an animals deformed its cuter then ever. lol
