So Boon got his first kink somehow in the last inch of his tail. There's no breakage or tear in skin but when I gently run his tail through my hand I can feel where it is more than see it. Sometimes he'll be chilling and it looks straight as an arrow, other times that last 1/2 inch bends off at about 40 degrees. I know it's not uncommon in tegus but i'm still kind of mad at the little sucker :)

I'm guessing the cartilege or whatever is in his tail broke or just fractured and is not attached inside(hence sometimes straight, othertimes bent). Will it re-attach inside or should I keep an eye out for him dropping it? Any precautionary measures I need to take or just let it ride?
