This morning I cleaned the tanks and gave them dusted crickets. That's why they look a bit "ghostly". It's amazing how much of a mess they can make in 6 hours!

Cricket Carnage!!!! It looks like they ripped the legs off of many of the crickets!!!

Some new pics after a bath. They're shedding.

They're a little lighter, if you compare them to the first pics, and the patterns have changed a little.

I'll try to take a few pics of him tonight. I'm cutting Styrofoam, and getting boxes ready for shipping, in my spare time at night. I don't know the extent of Kinky's deformity. I'm reluctant to spend $100 or more getting x-rays taken.

It's hard to tell at this age. He may get worse as he grows. He eats great, he's usually the first one to the pile of turkey!!

I don't think it's just a kink. Last year I had one hatch with a 90 degree kink in it's tail, in a week or two I couldn't tell which one it was. I think this is a birth defect with possible curvature in a few directions. It's not worth spending hundreds of dollars on x-rays.
