Na, there are several causes of kinked tail.

1. Not enough humidity for some reason
2. Diet (As Stated)
3. Hanging all the time from a branch (sounds stupid but Ive seen it)
4. Many leachie hatchlings have kinked tail for some reason out of the egg, but fixes very shortly

MBD does show in kinked tail form also but floppy tail is more of a problem with MBD.

You know, I didnt even think of that! I'm going to try that tonight
She still doesnt seem to be touching the crickets.. but we'll see

Okay- a little update. She is doing absolutely fantastic!

She's eating really well and is even taking large crickets with no problems, despite the fact she's never really eaten them before. She'll even eat them in front of me! I drop them in the tank and she jumps on them, lol.
She's shed a few times as well, I caught her in the act a few days ago :P


As for her weight, she came in at 7.22 grams when i got her, and she's almost doubled that already. She's at 13.2 as of yesterday

here's a few new photos:
