Rt's tail is always off to the side?

[KaitlinKeefe_]

Hey there,

I have been noticing rt Randy's tail is just about always off to the side, slightly tucked under his shell... I have only had him about a month and he's my first tort so I'm a bit of a worry-wart and want to make sure he's happy and healthy.. Is this normal?

If needed I can post pics later when I'm not working

Most male tortoises carry the tail off to one side.

Thanks! I just have been soo paranoid about his wellbeing. I want to be the best tortoise parent I can be and this forum has been so wonderful!

All 3 of my male russians tuck their tails to the side as well.
