Dark tail on parsonii

[CalummaCrazy]

Hi guys,

This was parsonii I was considering purchasing but I noticed that the end of tail is dark, is this a sign of stress, trauma or illness? Or can this be naturally occurring? I will post more photos the seller originally sent me over a month ago. I am in the UK & the animal in question is in Europe, so I cannot see it in person. Thanks

Here are the photos from a month ago. You can see the tail was dark than plus when it unfurls it, it's not as dark. Thanks

Did he recently have bloodwork? That can bruise the tail for weeks, maybe even months.
