Great job saving the poor lil guy he looks awesome. I second the post about the tail possibly being some retained shed and as said a quip with some mineral oil with a gentle rub should help to loosen it up.
Thx guys. It's back in again and I hope it stays. Gizmo will most likely being heading to the vet tomorrow as he is my best chammy buddy and I will do everything I can for him.

Lots of Chams available right now !!!!!
Nosy faly from our boy chestnut and a totally unrelated clutch from big boy Turk (breeding pairs available)
Blue bar ambilobe from the spectacular Mr Oden
Nosy Be (true blue) from the one and only GIZMO!!
