You can see it best in this second picture. It's right where that little loop is.

They swapped out the pinstripe for me and didn't give me any hassle!

Here is the new girl. I think she hasn't ha her first shed but she has already eaten.

Glad they exchanged females for you and everything worked for you.

Hmm...I would have asked for my money back. I can't believe they traded you for one that has not even had its first shed yet but has eaten.
Do you know if it ate on its own or was assist fed? Good luck with her I hope everything works out.

She ate on her own. I have experience with picky eaters/ slow starters so I'm not really worried.

I like the pattern on your new female. That sucks about the last female!

Thanks I know it wasn't somethig I wanted to deal with but it all worked out :)

You know, it could even be a minor injury, if her tail was handled a bit too roughly when she was popped? On the other hand, that tail also looked short, so I suspect it was an incubation related kink. I had some bad luck this year with a power outage, and I have one with a short tail like that as well. It's a very minor issue, but should have been noticed.
