: I've only had Joey for a week and he doesn't seem to be eating much (as I said before).
: Flavia says to check his tail base and his thighs to see if he is skinny...and he sure looks skinny to me especially when I see everyone else's pics.
: We have been working frantically re-doing his enclosure (he had no basking shelf at all...only one tree branch...and no area he could hide in).
: From the picture you can see that his tail is crooked at one spot. Could it be broken; could a vet do something with it even if it was done a long time ago? He also must have lost his end of his tail when he was little since it looks all black and has a different texture; his toes are mostly all crooked and many of his nails are missing.
: One more thing...he has black coloration marks on his side of his body and one at the top...are these scars? They feel 'different' than the rest of his skin.
: Thanks again everyone.
: I have a pic of Joey when we first got him, but first I will have to figure out how to post it :)
