- help help my baby tail tail rot?
Here is the full tail let me know if you need a better picture I will try to get one

That's a good pic. So you can see where the scales change from normal to red ? It needs amutated right above the red area. The tissue is infected underneath and it will keep moving under the scales killing the tissue. If you don't have a good reptile vet or qualified exotics vet you will need one ASAP to do the surgery.
Do you know how long we have because the vets we see are only open during school hours and I am in school my mom is a teacher and my dad works all over the place we end school in 2 weeks so I wa t to know if we have to go sometime during school days or we can wait a little
Ok thank you for all this help I would also like to say the he doesn’t use his back legs and bearly poops I will tell that to the vet I just wanted to know if you had any clue what it could be
His temps are 91 on one side and 79 on the other

Temps are good but could be 5 degrees higher on the basking side. More importantly, what is the long tube uvb brand and how old is it ? If you don't know the brand can you get it out of the reflector to see ? It's pretty far from the dragon so it needs to be a very high watt bulb, Arcadia 12-14% t5.
Arcadia D3 + Reptile T5 lamp
No clue sorry do you know how to check (also if I don’t respond for a bit I’m in the shower)

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
