My leopard gecko has been brumating for some time now, and I've kept track of his weight he's lost like 4 g. Today I took him out to check on him and immediately noticed that his tail looked really weird. It looked deflated. It's always been plump and stuff but it looks so weird now! I haven't had him for that long and this is my first brumation ever and I haven't seen anyone say anything about a tail looking delfated or dented. Also it's really limpy, when he's sitting on my hand and his tail hangs off the side it wobbles/swings when I gently poke it which it normally doesn't. I tried gently gathering/squeezing the tail and it wrinkled up (I don't usually do that but that shouldn't really happen right...?)
his tail looks like a deflated balloon...
Also his toes look like that because I got him from someone who didn't really know what they were doing so he's lost most of his toes
Anyway I would be really grateful if someone could share some info! Should I be concerned or is this fine? Is he dehydrated (I've been giving him baths but like???)? Or is it just weight loss(I weighed him last week and he's only lost like 1 g so would it make that big of a difference?) Idk how much you can tell from the pictures but please help I'd really appreciate any help! Thank you in advance.
