Bosc dilema

Postby joef_conner » Thu Jun 18, 2009 9:19 am

Hi guys,

I'm having trouble with one of my boscs. The tip of his tail is starting to kink but there doesnt seem to be any shed left on it? It''s also very difficult to get a good look.

Is there anything I can put on his tail to aid the shedding or can I just leave for a while?

Why is it difficult to get a good look? Some times monitors damage the tip of the tail from tail whiping against hard surfaces.

It's difficult because he's still quite "frisky". I just really dont want him to lose any of his tail.

I do appologize if I come accross as arrogant but I really do not see the problem. Properly restrain him, examine him and if you can't figure it out post some pics. Why keep something you have trouble to handle safely?
