all,
I noticed when feeding my baby the other day it looked like after his last shed that the tail tip was still attached. I didn't actually notice it was still on!
Anyway, as when I noticed the tail tip still on, it was when I was feeding him so I've had to leave it a few days.
I've ran some wet kitchen roll and it has all come off but here comes my question;
When you look right at the tip of your snakes tail, is there a tiny tiny bit on the very end that is see through? It seems to be a part of a bigger scale that is tiny, but obviously big compared to his surrounding scales. could that be some final shed, or is that his actual tail?? |

| It would be dependant on the skin colour as to how it would look but there is a scale on the tip of the tail. |

| I did think it was normal - I've never noticed it before so after sorting out his tip i didn't actually know if it was normal or not. |

Don't feel stupid if you dont know its not worth ignoring it, the only stupid question is the one not asked (or whatever that saying is).
My Royal's tail has a single sharp scale at the end of his tail, it looks and feels like a claw but its just the way the scales are configured at that end.

| Its a slit in the roof of their mouth, they put their glottis in it to breathe through their nostrils which dont have an independent airway (birds also have one but that's neither here nor there). HAHA Glottis, tubular thing on the bottom of their mouth that they breathe through. Told you, lots to learn. If you were to really get into their anatomy its fascinating how things have evolved. |
