Crack Sound When Thrashing

[Skeep]

My 6 month old girl tegu is getting much better about being picking her up, and I'm learning how to pick her up in such a way that doesn't bother her. But she still thrashes a couple of times when I lift her.

My question is, whenever she thrashes there is always a cracking sound, kind-of like if you roll your shoulder or neck and it pops. It even happens if her attempts at thrashing are only half-hearted. Does anyone know if this is normal or something I should be worried about?

I dont think its anything to worry about. If her tail was broken you would most likely see the injury, a kink or something, and it also probably would not make a sound. If it really bothers you though, you could always take her to a vet to get an xray.

Thanks. I don't think anything is broken, she moves around fine and she doesn't look like she's in any pain.

Mine does that too! Its so gross. And I jump back thinking, omg is her tail going to break off. I guess its okay?
