I actually had a gecko do something sort of like that, I wish I had taken a picture of him, his tail didnt totally curl, but it formed a perfect U shape, and when he would get excited it would lift almost straight up like a scorpions tail. He had a perfect banded tail, but the crazy thing was the bands kept going perfectly parallel to eachother, even when the tail curved, so at the bottom, if you could have actually straightened the tail out, he would have had a line running straight down his tail. He also had balance problems and ran into the sides of the container alot, leading me to believe he also had other problems, he only lasted about a week before he passed away of natural causes. His clutch mate hatched totally normal though, no other problems with any of the other hatchlings in the incubator at the same time either. So it wasnt a temp spike and not a calcium problem since none of the other hatchlings from that mother had any problems, im guessing just a genetic OOPS or maybe the egg was somehow bumped when he was forming? I dont know, but I sure hope your little one makes it threw.
