Q: Recently had a little bit of skin stuck on tail tip. Got the skin off, but still concerned.

My little taiwanese beauty recently had a bit of skin stuck to the tip of his tail. I grew concerned when he didn't just rub it off the next day, and look it up online. Hearing that this was a potentially major health issue I immidiately used a damp rag to gently rub the remainder off. The excess shed is gone, but the tip of his tail is pale, and while it seems to have been pale in older photos of him, the aren't really in focus. I am including a picture. Pease let me know if it looks bad. It doesn't seem like it, but I am not as experienced as you guys, so I don't really have a "bad case" to go by.

Some scales may have come off. Doesn't look like anything major is going on Smile
