Hi everyone,
Unfortunately, I noticed today that Oliver's tail has a little bent kink at the end. I'm assuming from retained shed. I do feel terrible that I didn't notice this earlier and didn't scan him even more thoroughly since his last shed. What can I do to help him (if possible)?
It has been a month since his last shed and he is due for one within a few days.
Thank you.

Re: Tail Tip
He could have been born with it, you might have just not noticed. Is it very noticeable or is it very short?

Re: Tail Tip
It is at the very tip. It's tiny. I apologize for the lack of clarity in the photos.

Re: Tail Tip
It does look like a small amount of stuck shed. If it's easy enough, you may be able to gently pull it off. Otherwise, you can use a drop of oil and a q tip to remove it. Warm water works as well.
