Stubby Tail?

[jsmorphs2]

wet a paper towel hold the tail for a few min then slide your hand away from the tail. if it doesn't come off then its not a stuck shed. its just a defect in the tail.

i have never see a bp with a stuck shed on the tail.

In the first pics there isn't any thing on the tail so its not a defect. Its tail looks perfectly healthy just stubby. The OP even stated its some stuck shed.

Also, I have a male with a stub tail and the only thing I was concerned about was his hemipenes being malformed but after I popped him they took to be in working order and he was producing sperm. I'll find out next season if any of his offspring have stub tails and if he can get the job done ; )
