Damaged Tail?

Hi everyone,
This is my first post - I hope I am posting in the appropriate area!

Over the past month, my guy has developed a curl at the end of his tail. He is eating and acting normal, temperatures and humidity are correct. I have been watching it and it doesn't seem like it has gotten any better/worse. It feels a little stiff to the touch but I honestly don't know what their tail tip is supposed to feel like since this is my only BTS. Should I be concerned? Thank you in advance!

My 2 year old eastern has that exact same curl, he has it for most of his life with no issues. I believe there’s nothing to be worried about.

Guessing its a Northern from what I can see? One of mine was born with the identical tail!

Yes he is a northern! Now that I’m finding it is fairly common, the little curl is starting to grow on me!

Yes, I find it appealing too. I've also got one that has a little squiggle at the end of his tail, just like his dad. I'll see if I can get a picture when I get home.
