Does this look normal?

Appears like a normal tail for a male

Yep, it's just a male tail. Female tails are smaller.

Yes, looks fine. If it had discoloration or skin issues, then you'd have a problem.

Ok just wondering. I knew he was a male from day one when I looked at his tail, but I thought it maybe looked a little swollen. I'm a new mom and am over protective. I just want him to be happy and comfortable. Thank u.

You know not every male has the same size/shape of goodies as the other
