It's probably twice as thick as all my other girls. She is completing a molt around her tail.

This does look healthy to me. Preen glands can get infections so just make sure it doesn't feel hot or anything but that looks pretty normal. Maybe she's preening more than they are because she's finishing molting.

Ok, thank you! It doesn't feel hot. It's just really thick compared to the others.
