    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I noticed today that the end of my dwarf Caimans tail looked cut and when inspected it I noticed a deep gash and it appears as if the tail is broke. Will this heal on its own? I bandaged it up to keep the parts together along the gash, anything else I can do here?

I think it could of happen in transit or right after I got him, because he was lashing with his tail pretty bad as I put him into his new home. He has been left alone for the past two weeks until today.
 
I've seen wild gators lose their tail completely or limbs completely due to fighting over mates or territory. They generally live in muddy cesspools of stagnant water in the everglades and they rarely get infections. crocodilians are tough as nails. keep an eye on it, but it should be fine in the end


you may want to call an exotics/zoo vet just in case its condition starts to deteriorate.
