hatchling was fine, now has kinked tail :(

[tangerineman]

ok, Dr. Spock didn't tell me about THIS....

I know it's not hereditary, as neither parent has this...
I guess it's because of too high an incubation temp?
I have heard this can happen...

I incubated for male at 89-90, mostly 90
he hatched in 38 days...on march 3rd,
up until a few days ago I saw no signs of any kinking...now
today i see the tail has a slight kink at the end...
he has been at about 89 degrees since hatching...
although there were a few days the temperature spiked for a short time period into the low 90s, and one day the enclosure got to 95 by accident.

He was/is my very first hatchling ever, but I have many more eggs incubating, so i would like to figure out how to stop this...

any info or links are appreciated...thanks..

btw, his sibling, another male at same conditions has not showed this yet...

thanks-
Duane

It should think out. because i bough one like that at petsmart and the tail think out as she grew and her tail is know stright. And is a very good breeder.I dont know if this help.

If my understanding of a past post is correct... hatch with it can be hereditary, but if it happens after it hatches, it could be due to not enough calcium, or poor calcium absorption. I do not know, though....Either way, I don't think it is a "problem".
By the way, thats a gorgeous leo...

Tail kinking does not hurt the leo. The only time it becomes a problem is if you are trying to sell it to a breeder. Most breeders will not use leos w/ kinked tails just incase it is hereditary. Some believe it's due to line breeding or not out crossing their blood lines and others think it has to do with supplementation.
