small black indent on tail by vent

jwillistylz · #1 (**permalink**) 09-09-2008, 12:10 AM

My tokay gonzo has a small black spot on his tail located near the vent and I am not sure what it is.. He has been eating like a beast, calling a hell of a lot, and I always see him licking drops of water. So everything is pretty much fine, just curious about the spot.

People will need a picture to be able to know what you're talking about.

Maybe a black mite (see picture below), burn mark, some dirt, black paint?

The pics need to be a little clearer. I cant even tell that there is a tokay there.

I didn't notice the 2nd slit but there are two black slits on the tail near the vent. I find the tokay will lick the vent area at times and the two slits will contract as well.

I will get pictures very soon.

Some of my males have anal spurs.. one of my males ony has one b/c the other broke off. It could be this, a clearer pic would be helpful.
