As far as kinking,.. I'm not saying that it doesn't or can't happen with other tegus. But for what ever reason temps, malformed eggs or genetics. You can't ignore the fact that it occurs more often with Blues. From minor left or right hooks in the tail to spinal curvatures, you see more Blues with kinking issues.

More tegus are being bred and born in captivity every year. So if it was just incubation or malformed eggs and not something genetic,. then we should see it more in other tegus as well. Especially since few people bother to or do very little research until during breeding or after eggs have been laid.

Every week we see a post from someone who say's they've done all this research about tegus but still ask basic need to know care question. The same as yearling and older tegus being kept together and or sold with out the owners knowing the correct sex. So lack of breeding knowledge wouldn't be much different.
