Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Tough to tell from that pic because of the size, however when I blew the pic up in adobe it sure looked like it was kinked. Bummer!

Looks kinked but a better pic would be good. It looks like you would be able to tell from the pic you saw before you bought her though.
Do you still have the pic they sent you before?

Looks kinked to me, but a better pic would be great. If the seller is claiming that the kink occurred during shippment / packing just before it got to you, I'd be very suspicious unless there was some kind of break / trauma to the skin too.

It does look kinked in the pic, though it does not look kinked on the ad on the sellers site.
It also does NOT look like a deli cup kink since it is pointing straight up, it looks more like a sibling bite to the end of the tail that was not enough to make her drop the tail but possible enough to kink it slightly.
I have 2 that I caught the tip of the tail in and still beat myself up over it but it is the humid hide that is a deli cup, they both ran in and slug the tail over just as I snapped the lid back on and their kinks are a definite shape of a cup to lid being placed on kink if that makes sense at all.
More pics that are larger would help.

it wasnt that long ago that someone recieved a kinked tail (from someone on the forums i think) that wasnt there before shipping. nobody was trying to cheat anyone or anything and (i think) the problem corrected itself and was attributed to stress from shipping. the pic i recall was really bent and i doubt from being caught in the lid.
im just adding cuz it may be on the up and up and this was just an unfortunate "freak" occourance.

I have caught a few tail tips while closing racks, and once with the deli cup. There was no break in the skin, but there was a kink afterwords. Once it went almost nearly away but you could still sort of feel it. When housed with clutchmates it can happen from a nip as well.
I would try to get more pics from the seller, since it looks pretty obvious in your pic, it may have been an accident it isn't visable in any of there pics of her.
